Have you checked the manual? Both C compilers have something similar to
fork(). Manx, I believe, has forkexec(), and Lattice has forkl() and forkv().
The Lattice version wouldn't work for BCPL code (C= wouldn't give us any
help on how to setup a BCPL process, and Metacomco wouldn't talk to us), but
if you are fork'ing something you wrote then it's no problem. Of course,
John Toebes may have re-worked the Lattice version to use Execute(), so it
may work generically now.
