  Is is possible in Unix to have two seperate processes share information
  in each others address space?  It is my understanding that fork gives
  each process an exact copy of the memory but not the same location.  I have
  looked into exec.. but I really do not want to overlay one process with
  another.  Can anyone explain this to me, I am still fairly new at Unix.
  Thanks.
