I believe A/UX had both of these things, although it ran all the System 7 applications inside a single address space. I suspect that without this measure, many native Mac apps would not have worked.
- pvg 7y agoI think apps could also be ported (mostly just recompiled?) to run in separate address spaces. So you could have a Mac app that was its own A/UX process.
