What's that mean? You are on a node. you open a file in a ramdisk. Other programs have it open too. You are watching each other's writes. You C/R to another node with the file open. What's that mean? You are on a node. You have a pipe to a process on that node. You C/R to another node. Are you still talking at the end? And on and on. It's quite easy to get this stuff wrong. But true C/R requires that you get it right. The only system that would get this stuff mostly right that I ever used was Condor. (and, well the Apollo I think got it too, but that was a ways back). ron
