I have been wondering about the references to the Fexec in Manx and
the Fork in Lattice...are they compatible? Or is there a huge difference?
I am still working with Lattice 3.03C and won't receive my upgrade for
a while yet, so I don't even have Fork yet. But I'm wondering whether
there are nice, general *process* execution library functions available
to users of both compilers? Or should I entertain the notion of writing
one? If fexec and fork are similar enough, hopefully it wouldn't be
necessary.

On a related issue (i.e. porting), what is the Manx equivalent of
Enable_Abort and CheckAbort()? I'd like to write portable code where
possible.
