Date: 27 May 1996 18:55:01 GMT Organization: University of California, Santa Barbara Lines: 7 Message-ID: <4octq6$rkp@ucsbuxb.ucsb.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: beauty.mcl.ucsb.edu I am trying to write a program that forks a bunch of times, but it needs to know how many processes are already running so it doesn't use em all up.
