What is the definition of ``lightweight processes'' ? I know the NeWS system contains something they call lightweight processes, where they have a process per window, passing messages forth and back, and I have seen some notes about SunOS4.0, where the same term was used. The background for my asking is that I am currently working on getting Xinu to run in a Unix process. It is great fun. My curiosity comes from the SunOS4.0 note, where the user interface to these lightweight processes was sketched, and it's apparent functionality had a striking similarity to Xinu. (I am not accusing anybody of anything!) Any information would be appreciated. thanks Rene' Seindal, DIKU, U. of Copenhagen, Denmark. (seindal@diku.dk)

I did this as well. It was written up in the July/August '87 ;login. I think Doug Comer and students did this too. Theirs is called Concurrent C. Don Libes cme-durer.arpa ...!uunet!cme-durer!libes

Nahiran Gehani from AT&T wrote a language called Concurrent C some time back. Im sure AT&T holds a nice tight trademark or copyright on the name... ken seefried iii ...!{akgua, allegra, amd, harpo, hplabs, ken@gatech.edu inhp4, masscomp, rlgvax, sb1, uf-cgrl, ccastks@gitvm1.bitnet unmvax, ut-ngp, ut-sally}!gatech!ken soon to be open: ...!gatech!spooge!ken (finally ;'})
