Yes, in fact non-modified data is shared also. Bss is shared on
forked children who have not execed. The same mechanisms are applicable
to the shared lib's.
>(6) Do FreeBSD or NetBSD support a MSDOS filesystem such as Linux?
Yes... I have used an MSDOS filesystem exported over NFS from a FreeBSD
server to a Lantastic system with TCP/IP. The MSDOS stuff seems to work
pretty well, but I havent used it extensively.
