- Let me add to the esteemable Redhead's (Mr. Limes is "Mr. Galaxy", in case you
- haven't already determined this empirically) posting that the publically
- available "top" program, written by William LeFebvre, supports the 4/6x0 series
- MP machines, providing information about memory usage and what processes are
- operating on what processor, etc. (I think - I say "I think" because I provided
- Phil with slight twiddle patches to display the processor # for each process in
- a column, a la "mps"; I do not know if he kept them in his final version of top
- 3.0 - I recall him thinking that he might not use/display that information.)
