Core -> a.out conversion program
This program was advertised on unix-wizards.  I have had such a large
response I'm sending it out to the world.

Here is the source.  It works fine under 4.1bsd, I see no fundamental
reason why it shouldn't work on an 11. (Except possibly small format
changes in exec header or user structure.)  No documentation yet.
Usage is
% undump new-a.out-file [old-a.out-file] [core-file]
where old-a.out-file and core-file default to "a.out" and "core",
respectively.  Probably should have an option to not require
old-a.out-file if the core came from a 407 file.

It doesn't preserve open files, and the program is re-entered at main
when you run it.  It's used locally to dump a lisp and restart it.

It requires a local subroutine called scanargs, somewhat similar to
getopt (I think).  You should be able to easily get around this, though.
