<P>Interesting.....</P>
<P> </P>
<P>If I start Grads then type in: </P>
<P>! ls <cr></P>
<P> </P>
<P>Grads just hangs. No answer set is returned. I presume a directory list should appear. But instead nothing....</P>
<P> </P>
<P>On another subject....Multi threading. When I run Grads 1.9 on a dual core machine, it appears to split the work between the two cores with each core getting about 50-54% of the load. On a single core machine it takes 100% of available CPU. So it splits the load, but does not make 100% use of both CPUs. </P>
