4. I didn't understand the first sentence in the limitations.html page:

"Shmem wants to be portable across multiple operating systems so that it can not count with an operating systems that maps shared memory to the same base address in all processes in the system"

I think I'm stuck on "can not count with".

I strongly suspect the original author meant "... so that it cannot count *on* an operating *system* that ...". I would rewrite the whole thing as: "Shmem is designed to be portable across multiple operating systems. As such it cannot rely on the operating system mapping shared memory to the same base address in each process." -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner@Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 203894
