Conceptually It is some what similar to the Hibernate function used in Windows xp, Service pack 2. I was thinking of inducing this functionality for embedded targets in particular.=20 Need araises when a test program is made to run for days and probably weeks. Suppose, if someone switches off the unit on say 2nd day, it should be able to continue from that point. Else, the program is made to run all over again resulting in wastage of time.
