I am running windows 2000 using the PragProgs install.
I have tried fork but get an unimplemented on this machine error. I
have tried this on multiple windows 2000 machines and get the same
error.
I have tried IO.popen("-") but just get an error stating that "-" is
not recognized.
I am trying to get a long running program to use 2 separate
processors. I have tried using Ruby's threads but the code is very
database intensive and appears to block a lot so I do not see a speed
improvement. The code is separated enough that I should be able to
cut the overall time significantly if I can get the 2 parts to run on
separate processors.
I am missing something stupid? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Walt
