     I have been reading several articles that have talked about running
things in the background. I am curious about this . First, I would like to
know how one goes about running something in the background on a machine
that has only one CPU ?? Secondly, is it really running in the background,
(ie UNIX) or does the process stop until it is accessed ??
     If there is anyone out there who can answer this PLEASE send me E-mail
and if anyone else is interested I will gladly send you the responses I
receive.....
      Thanks in advance....
