JF you are welcome to play with yourself anywhere you feel comfortable
doing so! If the police observe you, so much the better!
I've programmed for for VMS VAX and Alpha for about thirty-five years
without missing fork() in the slightest. YMMV
Of course I started my career ca. 1966 with SDS 900 series machines
which ran a long forgotten O/S and used a long forgotten command
language. Unix was still imprisoned at Bell Laboratories and Berkeley.
From that I moved to IBM mainframe. None of these systems offered or
needed fork() or vfork().
