Been playing with J7 (old version) and created a script in J6 which starts multiple J7 console sessions and creates a form in J6 for each similar to the J console layout. Works well as I can enter statements to any of the J7 sessions and receive output from several of them concurrently. The thought being that this is similar to what it would be like to try to implement multiple core operations.
A couple of questions about J7 have come up as I played with this. How can an application use sockets if the jfe code is also using sockets? Along with that, if the socket_handler interrupts go to the base locale, it gets even more of a problem. How are errors in the jfe handled? I had an error and, to my surprise, the error popped up in my form for the J7 session. Seems a lot like incest. Found an interesting tool for possible use in multiple core development. The break file is created for every J session. They are each only one byte long, but they could be made larger for possible sharing of data between J sessions. The creation of this file and its size is done by a J script called system\main\break.ijs. So it is no problem to make it larger. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
