If your server will only maintain one connection or handle only one request
at a time, then you'll be OK. Otherwise, you'll want to look for another
Interex article called "Serving Sockets without a fork". This described a
way to use the CREATE and ACTICVATE intrinsics to launch multiple jobs per
request. When I tried it, it seemed to drop some requests under a heavy
load (that would be me clicking the reload button as fast as I can). The
reason the author is avoiding the fork is twofold: you can crash MPE with a
fork without the right patches and the new process cannot access any open
databases. Well I shouldn't say can't, but I don't know how Image could
tell the two processes apart.
