I call it Dueling Schemes. This is an interesting problem when you want to have Schemes in heavy weight processes talk to each other. It seems to me that communication between them must be via copy, i.e., (write) and (read), and not a shared heap. For several light weight Schemes, I don't see why optimized continuations would do the trick (using a shared heap, and being very careful when you task switch). Paul E. Baclaski peb@autodesk.com
