possible to make SOME apps run on only a single processor?

Greetings.

Is it possible to do something to force certain applications to run on only one processor in a multiprocessor machine? I
just fixed some apps so it is not necessary, but the older versions are a problem. They don't work well on
multiprocessor machines because they were not built with multi-threading librarires.

Thanks

Jeff, I'm pretty sure it's possible, but I don't know how it's done.
I'm only replying to let you know that you shouldn't assume it's not
possible if you don't get a response. Searcht the Internet. I have a
3rd party remote monitoring tool for my servers that allows me to see
processor affinity for processes, but I've never actually used it and I
think it will only work for a process that has already been created.

I also remember seeing another utility once that had "partition" in the
name. It could partition resources on your machine (processors, memory,
etc.)

Per my below reply.. I think that setprocessaffinitymask might do it. Thanks for the encouragement.
