I don't think it will and I can't tell you how to figure out the base
address of the image either. But I do think that if you can figure this
out you can stitch together a virtual image file that you read into the
interpreter and have the interpreter doing any magic that you need,
including extracting your data or conceivably writing out a new image
file. I've never done any of it myself but I think this is your best
option here if you really need the data as desperately.
