In this environment it will definitely be b c d that goes first. However, it's possible that "b" will finish quickly and "e" will be started while "c" and "d" are still running. Or, "c" could finish first. So, although you know in what order things will be started, you can't really tell which ones will run concurrently. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
