RE: Objects, processes, and encapsulation



Oyvind, Gerald

Would you agree that...

   process = thread + context

?

Have learned in my teaching that terminology is dangerously overloaded in 
computing. Am now up to three different uses of 'synchronous', only one 
of which is strictly correct. All three above seem similarly abused.
