There's a really superb article on exactly that at: http://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/DEC/SRC/research-reports/abstracts/src-rr-035.html It's by Andrew D. Birrell. (Who's he, John, your long lost brother? :-) Incidentally, it is a technical report from DEC's Systems Research Center. They have many excellent TRs on interesting topics. You can find an index of them at: http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/publications/src-rr.html Almost all of them are available in Postscript form. They'll also mail you paper copies and/or associated videos, for free. It's a great service! -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
