Re: [Nmh-workers] vfork()

[Jeffrey Honig]

I gave up on VAXen when Paul Vixie gave up on the VAX port of BSD 4.4. (or was it 4.3 Reno?).

http://www.unixguide.net/unix/programming/1.1.2.shtml

http://www.unix.com/man-page/POSIX/3posix/vfork/

Both indicate that a POSIX compliant system should not have problems with that.

Thanks

Jeff

Will replacing vfork() with fork() seriously impact nmh performance on any current UNIX variants?  (How many VAX users do we still have?)
