All,

	What I am trying to do is iterate through a list (call it 100 items for
sake of argument) 5 at a time. I can fork off the initial 5 processes but is
it possible to,  as a processes finishes, spawn a new proceses to handle the
next item in the list. Everything I have tried so far isn't working. ANy
advice would be great.

thanks,
