because the program is probably small enough to get loaded into ram all in
one go.
how does linux handle files that are opened more than once? i sometimes
have the same c source file open in 2 separate terminals (i use one
as reference, helps when writing functions where the prototypes are right
at the top, saves jumping up and down the screen all the time) one with
vi, the other with less (or vi). The first copy i edit, save to, compile
etc, the other is just opened. Now i know you can't do this under windows
(sharing violations) so how does linux do it?
