  24. I sure wish you'd use "multitasking, multiuser" instead of multiprocessing.
  25. Because most people consider a multiprocessing environment "an environment
  26. with multiple processors," using that term--although I know you mean
  27. multiple processes--will confuse and mislead most people who are
  28. unfamiliar with COHERENT.
