I am trying to get multiple copies of a program to use the same memory area. The documentation for 4.2 describes some rather nice memory management facilities, then adds in a footnote that all but two of those mentioned is not implemented. One possibility is to set up sockets with some sort of protocol for exchanging infomation on values of variables, etc, but this would be a rather slow and messy business. An alternative is to write the stuff into common files. This would also be slow and messy. Any way of doing memory mapping, controlling sharing of memory, etc. for programs that would have to share a lot of information. Thanks for any suggestions, -- --------- Stefan Brandle UUCP: ihnp4!wheaton!stefan I never claimed to be sane.
