Re: S/36 MRT programs (some questions)

[Tim Truax <truax@xxxxxxxxx>]

Marc,
It was my knowledge that the MRT programs are loaded into memory once (just on
copy) and you can have multiple requesters on the single loaded MRT program.
This is why it needs the data structure for all the programs variables, so each
user can have their own copy of the variables.  As far as the cycle is concerned
I believe that the single loaded program in memory operates pretty much
independently of who is where in the program..ie.. several users may be going
through the input cycle and output cycle at any time either concurrently or
consecutively.
It was a wierd concept (but a memory saving one)
