Does anyone know the limit on the number of processes that can be run at the same time? Is it a function of the memory available, and if so, what? I can't find anything on this in the FAQs. I'm running some interactive multi-process stuff, and would like to use as many processes as possible. Currently about 15 on a DEC Alpha, soon to be about 50+. Is 50 processes too much to hope for my humble LC? I suspect it is, but would like to know if anyone has any figures on process limits. Thanks, Keith. kwc@sys.uea.ac.uk
