mmap queestion

Hi to all,
programming ANSI C on UNIX (Tru64 5.1A, but I hope it is not
important).
I need to load an executable in memory (ex: a copy of /usr/bin/telnet)
and start it from memory.
While executing telnet_copy, delete the copy.

Is it possible using mmap ?
Could you provide a short example ?

Thank you very much.

Is it possible using mmap ? Not using ANSI C, because there is no reference to mmap in
the language specification. You would have to use some
platform specific functionality.

Could you provide a short example ? Nope. Try news:comp.unix.programmer or another Unix
newsgroup.
It's been soooooo long since I was into the Unix O.S.


Thank you very much.
