where'd they get this? that's an odd statement. Shared memory was used all the time on Unix on -11s, that's the whole point of the shared text a.out format. Of course shared read-only text is not exactly the standard shared memory, but at the same time it shows feasibility. The address space was so small though that other mechanisms were used. ron To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
