There is a version of OS/2 that does SMP, but I don't know if it will distribute threads (ie. ada-tasks) or only processes. The rationale (III.3.7) mention dividing programs in to partitions. "Partitions are intended to support distributed processing,...". I guess partitioning is overkill for SMP :-) If the operating system doesn't SMPs the tasks, then you could use OS-calls to make processes (but that isn't portable). ______________________________________________________________________ Tore B.
