Just curious, how can user/programmer specify the _process'_ affinity?
up to NT 3.51 there is only SetThreadAffinityMask()... Thanks!
Yes, that is what I meant. I was only trying to speak in general
terms here, and did not have a reference handy. That is why I
specifically said he should go find books on the subject.
