Running multiple address spaces is a very common UNIX approach, which z/OS as a UNIX system supports, and which does not (necessarily) make use of storage-based communication mechanisms. It can make use of them, though, and in that case it would probably be of the flavor of UNIX shared-memory. Again, this would not require APF as far as I know. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
