GAP can call other programs, such programs are called processes. There are two kinds of processes: First there are processes that are started, run and return a result, while GAP is suspended until the process terminates. Then there are processes that will run in parallel to GAP as subprocesses and GAP can communicate and control the processes using streams (see Streams).
Note that the latter kind of process is @not yet implemented@.
