What I want to know is, how do you get UNIX to manage processes well in permanently fragmented RAM? That is, instead of one slice of RAM from address A to address B, you have 2 or more non-contiguous fragments. What do you have to do to run these as efficiently as 1 fragment? Do you just have to implement core-shuffling? (A good idea anyway.) Lance C.
