I need to spawn a child process that has direct access to it's parent
processes global data area.  It will need to modify globals data, and
the parent process needs to see these changes.

I noticed that in the "4.2BSD System Manual" that there are some
unimplemented provisions for this sort of thing (i.e. mmap).  Are these
implemented under 4.3?


Thanks in advance....
