My bet is that (surprise, surprise), it means able to be re-entered. Thus one CAN talk about re-entrant interrupt code, as well as re-entrant programs. Obviously, the meaning is slightly different in the two cases (whole programs and bits of them), but it seems fairly clear, to me at least, what it means. Dave Lukes (...!vax135!ukc!root44!pdl)
