Hi, I got a question concerning PROGRESS (V5.2I) Host language call:

I'm planning to add some network support (send/rcv data via sockets) to
my progres, so that I can have a procedure running as a kind of information
server in the background without having to run progress on the client machines
itself.

My question now:

I'd like to fork() my pogress server procedd for the handling of the request,
but I think I might confuse the RDBMS when there are suddenly two processes
connected. Am I right?

And what happend if I do and exit() inside a HLC function? does the broker
get confused? Any other restrictions on this?

Are there other HLC functions than those described in the HLC REFERENCE MANUAL
which make this possible (forking,exiting etc).

And BTW:

	Does PROGRESS Software have an e-mail address where one can direct
	questions and comments to? Would be very nice, but they ever publish one.

regards,

Mathias
