[TUHS] Re: Pipes (was Re: After 50 years, what has the Impact

Am Fr., 6.

In CDL, a typical Unix shell pipeline such as more is called a task force, and is transparently distributed by the Task Force Manager server across the available CPUs. CDL extends traditional Unix syntax with additional operators for bi-directional pipes, sequential and parallel process farm operators, load balancing and resource management." Mostly. "The Unix compatibility library described in chapter 5, Compatibility, implements functions which are largely compatible with the Posix standard interfaces. The library does not include the entire range of functions provided by the Posix standard, because some standard functions require memory management or, for various reasons, cannot be implemented on a multi-processor system. The reader is therefore referred to IEEE Std 1003.1-1988, IEEE Standard Portable Operating System Interface for Computer Environments, which is available from the IEEE Service Center, 445 Hoes Lane, P.O. Box 1331, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331, USA. It can also be obtained by telephoning USA (201) 9811393" http://www.transputer.net/hbooks/techref/hbk.pdf Does that number still connect to the IEEE? :-) Best Martin
