Very Computer

I am running SCO Open Desktop on a 486, and
am using the operations: shmget, shmctl, shmat etc...
from the shm library.

In shm.h, I noticed this stucture:

struct  shminfo {
        int     shmmax,         /* max shared memory segment size */
                shmmin,         /* min shared memory segment size */
                shmmni,         /* # of shared memory identifiers */
                shmseg,         /* max attached shared memory     */
                                /* segments per process           */
                shmall;         /* max total shared memory system */
                                /* wide (in clicks)               */

end

! I was wondering if the system imposed limit of the max
! # of shared memory segments a process may attach at one
! time, may be changed at all...

yes, it is a kernel parameter.

! I am running SCO Open Desktop on a 486, and

then, login as root, cd /etc/conf/cf.d and run ./configure, pick category 9
and change the value of SHMSEG to however many you need (default is 6 per
process).  When you exit, ./link_unix

enjoy!
