I am doing a design that may work best if I can have a large number of memory segments that are successively attached and detached to a number of process. It seems to me that System V shared memory would provide this functionality. I would create a bunch of segments, and then, when a process needed access to the data in a segment, it would attach to it, use it, and then detach. So... my question is... will it work, in practice, on a Pyramid MIS Server. Can I have, lets say, 1500 shared memory segments laying around, a few attached at any one time to one or more of 15 processes? Thanks in advance. If possible, please reply by email. -- John Moore (NJ7E) mcdphx!anasaz!john asuvax!anasaz!john (602) 951-9326 (day or eve) long palladium, short petroleum 7525 Clearwater Pkwy, Scottsdale, AZ 85253 Freedom and Communism are incompatable.
