I am looking for information and examples showing how to install
VInstall tasks.  The tasks I have in mind do not actually have anything
to do with graphics or the monitor so VInstall examples are just fine.
I have the following code which doesn't work, any
suggestions are welcome.


VBLTask myTask;
int taskHappened;

pascal TaskHandler()
{
  SetupA5();
  DoTasksWithNoMemoryMoveOrAllocate();
  taskHappened = 1;
  myTask.vblCount = 60;
  RestoreA5();
}

main()
{
  Initialise();
  myTask.vblAddr = TaskHandler;
  myTask.qType = vType;
  myTask.vblCount = 60;
  myTask.vblPhase = 0;
  VInstall(&myTask);

  EventLoopWithTasksRequiringMemoryMoveOrAllocateCheckingtaskHappened();

  VRemove(&myTask);
}

Thanks in advance.
