subject: Can memory have 2 addresses at the

This may seem like a strange thing to try and do, but I notice that Linux
is able to have the same memory object allocated to two or more addresses
within the one process.

Under Linux you do a shared memory get, to get a handle to the memory, then
a shared memory attach, to attach an address to the handle. You can then
attach more addresses to the handle and address the memory at a number of
different addresses.


Is OS/2 capable of the same feat?
