Andrew, There is no inherent MMU support in new new OS — there are still too many problems with incorporating such support into the current operating system architechture. Unless we are all willing to a total restructuring of things, which will undoubtedly break almost _all_ existing software, I'm not sure a memory protection scheme will ever be incorporated, although I know there are folks who are working hard to prove me wrong. 🙂 …BobR
