The sample code I've seen is starting child process and giving it a reference to a callback function, so I perceived it as something like a 'fork' plus 'and once you finish, please call back' which is an ingenious idea but conceptually it is a fork, hence my question. Is there any other use for callback mechanism? Thanks ZA
