fork(), vfork(), etc, are in the C library. And I don't think fork() cares what language is running since it makes an exact copy of the process in memory and restores the stack pointer, etc. Remember C and Fortran compile to assembly in the end....
So it seems you should be able to call the C fork() somehow. --R On Sat, 2008-03-08 at 18:57 -0500, John McKelvey wrote: > Hi! > > I have a fortran program from a SGI SMP box that does does coarse > grained parallel stuff using "fork."
