I have an a TCP server on MVS that must provide concurrent processing of multiple clients. On UNIX, the approach would be to have the parent accept a new connection, fork a child to provide the service, and have the parent continue to listen for additional connections. How does one achieve the equivalent of "fork" in MVS under MVS/TCP? MVS/TCP comes with standard servers like FTP and TELNET. How do they "fork" and is the approach general? (I do not yet? have source to these so I haven't been able to look myself). To up the ante, I would prefer this server to be RPC based. I have had good success developing and porting (non-forking) RPC clients and servers between UNIX and MVS and would like to reuse some of that code. Thanks in advance. --Jack Fitch@dockmaster.ncsc.mil
