1. Multiple Processes
I have a project, which I'm considering Euphoria for use, but
there's one thing I cannot do without, fork(), or it's equivalent. I
have looked through the documentation and haven't been able to find any
analogue.
I looked through the mailing list archives and found something
very ambiguous... Have I missed something? Can euphoria (on linux) perform
any sort of forking? Or even make a (linux) system call to fork? Surely
there's a way.

I do not have euphoria (on linux) installed but I know that you
can do calls to system functions in dos. It seems that fork() is
a system call so I think that you should be able to use a system
call to execute the fork() command in Linux.
Maybe one of the Linux grus can tell you.

I have been considering a few hacks to make it work. If I don't get/find
the right answer, I'll produce a hack and post it.
