When eating, the >spaghetti keeps falling off, >so you better spin your fork() and you get a twist of spaghetti(code) >and thus you can eat faster. >(The technique has also been extended to macarooni.) cute little saying... did you use it for a memory jog for a exam? Unfortunatly you are wrong what you have described is multi-processing. The routine fork() basically makes a complete copy of a running application so you end up with two processes running. These processes are totally independent but identical. multi threading actually is a single application that has different concurrent "threads" of execution. all these threads share the same memory space and run inside one application... the routine best associated with multi threading is either thread() or pthread() for posix's compliant threads Matt
