RTFM....

while a hard link will stay in place until all references are deleted from disk, right?

OS/2 has a set of API for dealing with shared memory, I looked at shm* stuffs in the past and a 
simple implementation should require minimal API mapping.
What exactly is needed for BDB? I see shm* are referenced only in os\os_map.c, and only 4 
functions are used (shmget, ctl, at, dt).

TIA,


Bye,
