ASCRE also has an option to have an exit taken when the started address space 
terminates which can aid communication/sync between your main STC and the aux 
STCs.

Do you really need an ASID for each function? - Why not use a TCB within the 
same STC ?

Subject: Internal (program) start of an STC - MGCRE vs. ASCRE

I'm curious about if I just wanted to do the equivalent of a START for an STC, 
is there any reason to use ASCRE versus MGCRE? Are there some advanced options 
or features to ASCRE that make it worth while to use? Any example? From 
reading, it seems that it may be easier to set up a cross memory environment 
between the starting and started address spaces using ASCRE.

What I'm considering this for is an STC which listens on a TCPIP port, 
accept()s the connection (to a socket), then uses ASCRE or MGCRE to start up an 
STC to actually do the functions needed by the client. I know that it would 
likely be easier to do a fork(), at least in regards to passing the socket to 
the child, but I don't know that I actually want to use UNIX services.
