Frits,
 OS9 does not have a unix fork(). What Pete is alluding to here by Bob
Larson is just an empty function call:

       fork()
       {
       }

If the Unix code does _not_ follow with an exe* function, then some port
work needs to be done.

Bob Larson has a partial unix compatibility library on cabrales.
Send email to os9archive@cabrales.cs.wisc.edu. The subject line is
ignored. In the body of the message write the two lines "send help" and
"send index".

Hopes this helps.
Bob
