And, pray tell, what do these "fork" mean? I'm curious since Unix has fork as a verb, whereas Tenex has it as a noun. Presumably they both got it from the Berkeley 930 timesharing system, so maybe something got lost in translation on the way to the East coast. It would be intresting to compare against the meaning in RSX (11 not 15, I guess) and RT-11.
