[comp.windows.news] Running multiple NeWS applications from one Unix process

mayer@uffa.rocksanne.uucp (Jim Mayer) (09/25/90)

I am looking into using NeWS from a Lisp/Scheme environment.  In this
environment, each "application" would be managed by one (or more) Lisp
world lightweight processes.

The OpenWindows 2.0 X11/NeWS server appears to create a new lightweight
NeWS process to manage each NeWS connection.  I said appears, because
it isn't clear to me from the documentation whether the new process is
set up automatically or by an explicit action on the part of the
client.

In any case, am I likely to be better off creating a new server
connection for each "application", or multiplexing one connection among
the different servers?
