Note

This document describes version 2.0 of Multiprocessing Services. For a list of functions changed or added between versions 1.4 and 2.0, see Changes From Previous Versions of Multiprocessing Services . Applications built using older versions of Multiprocessing Services can execute without modification under version 2.0.
