What happens if under a shell with _BPX_SHAREAS=YES I start multiple FTP client processes? Does FTP client have a "do not share" attribute? Does FTP client under Unix Services perform I/O directly to stdin and stdout, or does it ALLOCATE INPUT and OUTPUT to the paths? (Now I must do an experiment.) We'll run out of adjectives before exhausting the combinations. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
