My original message was:

On Solaris 2.4, do two processes running the same copy of a program share the
physical memory for the code or is it necessary to implement shared
libraries?

This response pretty much summarizes it:

From: rtrzaska@uk.mdis.com (Ray Trzaska)

two processes running the same code share the same copy of the code segment.
shared libraries is a way of fine graining the shared areas across multiple
programs.

the only stuff distinct across the processes is the stack, and writable
text areas.

Thanks to everyone who responded so quickly.
