Description

The mp:process-run-function function is applied to the each of the entries in mp:*initial-processes* to create the initial processes.

It is not necessary to call this function when the Common LispWorks GUI is running (that is, after env:start-environment has been called), as this automatically starts up multiprocessing.

Note: On Windows and Linux, the Common LispWorks GUI starts up by default.
