Program Snapshot

[Ben Duncan]

Unfortunately, the program was not compiled with debug, so that
is out of the question.

What I am wanting to do, is like the OLD <Gasp> debug program
that was in MS-DOS, where you could step thru and OR see the
ASM code.

I am wanting to follow what the program is doing, and it is a
"foreign" binary (Coff), so it has to be running.

Thanks ...
