Definition:

#include <aMulti.tea>




void aMulti_Spawn(

int fileID, char ProcID);

Parameters:

fileID	-	The file to run as a concurrent process.
ProcID	-	The process slot to use for the concurrent process.

Return Value:

This routine does not return a value.

Description:

This routine launches a concurrent process.  The calling process continues execution.  The "main" function in the new process must be declared as "void main(char)" because the aMulti_Spawn function passes the ID of the calling process to the new process.

Example:

(TEA file stored in file slot 0)
#include <aMulti.tea>

void main()
{
 aMulti_Spawn(1,3);
 (body of program)
}

(TEA file stored in file slot 1)
#include <aMulti.tea>

void main(char callingProcID)
{
 (body of program)
}


The first program (0) runs the second program (1) as process 3.  After executing the aMulti_Spawn command, the first program continues execution.  CPU time is divided evenly between active processes.
