Hello OS/2 programmer types,
	I've a question concerning protected memory under OS/2 (well actually a few):
	-How difficult is it to grant a memory area to other process?
		how fast is it?
	-Can you share a memory area between a set of processes rather
		than just its owner and another process
	-Can the process that malloc'd (or whatever allocation call) an
		area allow another process to free() it, provided it
		has been granted the ability to access this area.
Would you consider OS/2 to be real time in the sense that it can respond to
external interrupts on a process level in some kind of uS time? This would
be for critical priority processes.
Thanks
	Lindsay Meek
