Please do not send HTML to mailing lists, thank you.

Please check that you do not have the reply in same format checked as it 
overrides all other plain settings in the Microsoft mail clients.
Apparently an undocumented feature.

OpenVMS does not currently have a fork() function, and there is no way 
to effectively emulate it.  Anything that uses fork() must be recoded.

I have not completed the coding for this yet for anything past 2.0.6.

The OpenVMS debugger can handle debugging SMBD either interactively or 
in daemon mode otherwise.  The daemon mode can be configured to launch 
the debugger back to an X-11 display.  But obviously when doing that, 
you want to limit the number of sessions launched.
