Yes, you can use the kconfig utility. In oder to look at the current values you can type the command kconfig -avn /unix To change the value of NPROC (which is set to 50 by default) type kconfig -n /unix (this will give you a new line with no prompt) NPROC=num_proc (substitute num_proc by the number you want, 100 should do) cntl-D (this will end the input mode and give you a prompt back) more information on this is in the A/UX System Administrator's Reference manual under kconfig(1m) page 4. >Also, when a process forks, is the text area shared? The A/UX >linker does not have any option to enable this. The cc compiler allows you to create shared text area if you compile a program with the -n option Again, more information can be found in the A/UX command Reference (A-L) manual under cc(1) page 4 Hope this helps ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include /* I'll think of a better one later */ Antonio Ordonez amdahl \ Technical Communications/Direct Response Center pyramid!sun - apple!antonio Apple Computer, Inc.
