Got you. So the correct term would be 'multiprocess'. I always forget that UNIX considers processes to be seperate to threads. BeOS does things slightly differently. We have the notion of 'teams'. A thread belongs to a 'team'. All threads are effectively light weight processes. However, and I forget the exact reason, a team is not an exact equivilence to a UNIX process. > So the term 'multithreaded' doesn't apply.

The wonders of 70's inspired technology ;-) Fork sounded sensible, but clone sounds a bit like it does something completely different. Ah well....
