Performers:

A student working on a project for me asked me to post the following
question:

-----
I have been working on a program in which the user can dynamically load
and delete geometries via pfdLoadFile("foo.iv"). To increase performance,
I have experimented with using pfMultiProcess(PFMP_FORK_DBASE),
pfDBaseFunc(func), and pfBuffer. If I leave out the pfMultiProcess line
and the pfBuffer and just use pfDBaseFunc(func), the program works fine,
and I can use pfdLoadFile("foo.iv") in func with no problems. However, if
I want to use pfMultiProcess, the program crashes on the call to
pfdLoadFile("foo.iv") in func (the DBASE function). Just wondering if
there is something wrong with pfdLoadFile, or if someone can give me any
solutions.

Thanks for the help

        Thanks,
        Bill
