Does anyone know of a way to share a data segment between several processes running concurrently on a vax 780 so that data written to the data segment by one is visible to the others? Is there a loader option which permits shared write segments? Please respond by mail. I have done this under VMS and its possible if not straightforward. I have heard that unix doesn't have a good way but it seems that there should be something I can do. thanks. ron@gatech -- Ron Hutchins
