Even after reading numerous postings about the power of the A/UX
operating environment, I still haven't seen the answer to one
question: under A/UX 2.0, can applications be written that take
advantage of BOTH the Macintosh toolbox and Unix library calls (e.g.
fork ())?  Can such "hybrid" programs be written with existing tools
like MPW?  Or, are programs that use the Mac toolbox restricted to
residing in the "compatibility" layer, unable to use the
multiprocessing (and other) capabilities of Unix?
