I'm writing this followup on a Sequent Symmetry that's using, I think,
six 80386's.  It distributes its *nix processes across these processors
and you can even compile programs to incorporate some degree of

This is just for information.  I'm not saying the same thing couldn't be
done, or couldn't be done better, on other processors.
