Need a good "open process" sample

[Simon Lord]

Hmm, has it always been that easy?  I remember having real problems 
with this a few years ago on the SGI.  It was a real pain to get it to 
do anything.  And these samples are much more straightforward than I 
remember.

But, that said.  Thanks Andu.
