Initiation of a Debugger using CreateProcess

Hi,
I'm intending to write a private debugger for my own use, but it must be
started with CreateProcess, how can I retrieve and control its "context"
such as the base address loaded by the Windows Loader? Is it possible to
disassemble the exe in this way? Also, how can I implement the feature of
VB6 debugger (called JIT?)such that I can control the context outside the
debugger when the debugger is waiting on an event? (so that I can switch to
other programs) I have encountered this problem when using Softice... For
example, when Softice is "doing" something, other processes are freezed and
you jump out of it (Ctrl-D) and come back later, (because of its sticky
feature), the current address of the debuggee would have changed, and it is
looking at something else than what I was doing before.... quite subtle,
hope you understand...
Thanks
Jack
