See referenced article for details. This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about with respect to a "general audience" RTX application. So who wants to finance it? I will dontate RTX to the project and I will make hacks as necessary to add new functions if necessary. RTX probably has most of low level task switching needed for such a desk Accessory. So what do you say David, are you interested? Anyone? Somebody that knows GEM write a nice App with RTX hooks. I'll help with the system interface / design. We don't need Atari to make this happen, although I think it's foolish of them not to help us all do it. -- David Beckemeyer (david@bdt.UUCP) | "I'll forgive you Dad...
