It wouldn't be practical because you'd have to rewrite the vat to point to
the correct locations since SOS and AShell move the data around to allow all
of the ram to be used to its fullest. Fixing the vat wouldn't be too
difficult I suppose, but it would be useless for the most part.

btw, all your dreams are comming true! With SOS v1.6 you can rename prgmA to
anything you want and it no longer graphs when you exit! To top this all
off, v1.6 is the smallest version yet!
I will be releasing it sometime very soon....
