I have received several replies to my enquiry as to why uPort has two processes
called swapper and several requests for an answer to the question.

The reason is: AT&T split the swapper process in two; swapin and swapout.

I assume that uPort 386 has swapper, vhand and bdflush processes unlike Xenix
386 which just has a swapper. Could someone let me know ?

BTW thanks for the answer to my question.
