From: zar%xhmeia@cit-hamlet.arpa What majical scheme assigns process I.D.s in VMS V4? It seems to me the most likely new method would be to make the low 8 bits unique (the sysgen max process count will never be larger than 511 (at least I don't know of a VAX with enough memory and DZ lines to do this (don't explain to me how it can be done with 4Meg and 1 port))). I'll look in the fiche if I don't get an answer...need to know pretty bad. From The Great Zar a.k.a. Dan Zirin Caltech ZAR%XHMEIA@CIT-HAMLET
