Thanks Tom. I didn't consider IPCS for such a task. I'd have to read up on dynamically invoking IPCS to see how much effort that might be.
Interesting idea, but my guess is that it would be a tad heavyweight for an application that just wanted to print the contents of some storage in standard dump format. Probably easier and more efficient to re-invent the wheel in your own code than to call IPCS. As I said in an earlier reply, this is purely academic, just a matter of my curiosity on a Friday.
