Shared Memory for Executable

We are using a program that takes up about 5MB of memory, and were wondering
about the possibility of putting it into a shared memory space.  That way,
if 20 users were running the program, we would only be chewing up 5MB of
memory, not 100MB.

Is this something that is easy to do?  I've been pointed to the shmat 
subroutine, but I would appreciate any tips from the pros.

Thanks,
Peter Mroz
