Fork of a Different Color

[Chris Torek]

A couple of us U of MD hackers were making random comments about Unix,
lightweight processes, and so forth, and we decided that Unix needs
some new system calls to round it out:

	fork()		- make a copy of a process - modified:
			  the new one would take an argument
			  specifying whether the new process
			  should share the old one's memory.
	knife()		- cut apart shared memory
	spoon()		- dip into another process's memory

which I guess makes the virtual memory system a plate and the hardware
a table....  :-)
