I was also under the impression that QNX does NOT implement the fork() system call. This is just fine for realtime work (fork() is a pig), but it's not adequate in a development environment where you're going to want to run your favorite UNIX tools. I could go into why fork() is a lossage for non-VM systems, and how it's cool for VM, and so on... but I won't. --- Peter da Silva, Xenix Support, Ferranti International Controls Corporation.
