Sharing is accomplished in text.c where it attempts to "attach to a shared text segment". It knows that it is shared by looking at the text size and seeing that it is non-zero. This size is read directly out of the header on the a.out file (printed by the "size" program). The exception is that at exec time (getxfile in sys1.c), a file which is 407 (non shared, non-sep) has its text size set to zero and its data size set to the sum of the original text and data sizes. This 411 files are shared. Dave
