</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">}</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><br>Given that Swift run-time has access to Mosa on the head-node is there any other way to do this task with low cost (may be directly executing this command without going through a worker? ). Can I use external mappers /
variable declared as external type / some other way ? <br></div><div><br></div><div>If you have an example program in the repository please point me to that.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you</div>Emalayan.</div></body></html>
