	I'm not sure I understand what you mean.  If I am to take what you
said literally, i.e. "physically running two programs at once", then you are
talking about a MIMD multiprocessor, like a Sequent or Alliant.  Is that what
you meant, or (more likely, I think) that it will be a uniprocessor capable
of timesharing by having task switches controlled by an internal clock (as in
your typical Unix or VMS system) rather than by mouse clicks (as in
multifinder)?
