 Jack I am surprised at your comment. After reading your article on 
 Multitasking in a recent copy of Embedded Systems Progrogramming I 
 thought that you were of the opinion that pre-emptive multitasking was 
 not realy neccessary and that round robin would meet most if not all 
 requirements. Maybe I misunderstood the intent of your article. 
    Regards Hans.
