Strange requirement
This aricle currently contains the following text: "This task should not be implemented using fork, spawn, or the linux/unix/Win32 pipe command." I think this is a very strange requirement for a task where "The goal of this task is to create two concurrent activities that share data synchronously". I think that goal actually describes one of the most common uses of fork(), spawn(), pipes and similar constructs. I suggest we remove this requirement. Ahy1 12:43, 21 October 2007 (MDT)
