* Comment I think the Design section went into too much unnecessary detail before it was shortened, so I would agree with shortening it to a few sentences. Mentioning that Windows doesn't do forking and that threads are used instead should be sufficient. This is a common portability issue, and we all known what the difficulties are. More detail should probably go in the manual instead. Speculation on why Windows doesn't support forking seems more appropriate in Fork (system call) than here. —''''
