If the question is "Does CMS, in general, let me run two programs concurrently?" the answer is "No". If the question is "Can CMS use more than one CPU?" the answer is "Yes". There's no difference between "CMS" and "CMS Multitasking". The latter is just our name for the set of APIs that enable you to create a multi-threaded CMS application that can take advantage of multiple CPUs. CMS' POSIX support is built on top of it. CMS Multitasking is most definitely NOT a separate operating system. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
