:fork() often seems to crash the amiga.  Try the example in the manual with
:c:echo as argument, just be ready for the three-fingered reset.

	You cannot fork() a BCPL program, period.

	Also, I don't think you can call Execute() from a fork()'d program
    but am not sure.  Apart from those problems, fork() makes multitasking
    on the Amiga easy!
