It's only an XY problem if I do not explain the greater goal, but which I did.

Have you never cheated in computer games? It's either hexediting savefiles or messing with the memory in a debugger. That's what brought me to Turbo Pascal and programming in general in the first place!

I don't believe that the kernel doesn't let me do anything I want to do. I have su privileges and am not afraid to use them. If accessing memory is possible in DOS, Win98 and Win2k, so it bleeding well be in Linux. These mem files aren't just lying around /proc because they look pretty, you see.
