please excuse my ignorance, but I was thinking about the “pause a program question” and began wondering if it is possible in *nix OSes on a x86 architecture to do some of the funnier DOS things. Like manually load an application into memory allocated by a user process point the IP at the correct address and have it run. Assume for a moment that I remembered to save all needed segment addresses and have loaded them correctly using the new program’s data. Will the OS (talking about a *nix flavor)complain? Just a thought.
