They sure know and they sure know that a UNIX processs is just a standard MVS task with some additional attributes. If a program running as a UNIX process does, for example, a local spawn(), it creates a new process in the very same address space. But this process needs to be tied to a TCB in order to be dispatchable, so a new task is created as part of spwn() processing. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
