   I have been told that Data General's AOS creates new
processes *first* in the "swap space" on disk and *then*
transfers a copy to memory.

   My question:  what does (2.9) UN*X do?  Does it create the
process (text, data, ...) in memory , transferring it to
"swap" only if necessary?  Or does it use the AOS approach?
