"Check pointing" on BSD Unix (or Ultrix)

[Eliot &]

I would think it would work just to type the correct interrupt character to
force the process to dump core. That's the *easy* part. The *hard* part is
re-establishing the process's open files, network connections, children, etc.
Unless the process does not deal with files, I would not expect dumping core
to work.							Eliot
