zz: How much trouble for d.execution?

[Ted Nelson <ted@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Andrew,

I think d.execution is prob. a much clearer way
 to handle the zzshell and other interfaces
 than d.inside and d.contents.  How much trouble
 to add it?

Less pressing is d.co-execution.  My notion is
 of putting in parallel processing simply by
 making d.co-execution how you fork and
 join processes.  No reason it couldn't be used
 both for Unix fork and join and for the corres-
 ponding thread operations-- specifying one or
 the other in some way ...

Thotz?

Best, Ted
