Message-ID: <1991Feb11.205908.3781@ucselx.sdsu.edu> Date: 11 Feb 91 20:59:08 GMT Organization: San Diego State University Computing Services Lines: 10 How exactly does IBM multitask? Could Window3.0 multitask? OS2? PS2? I heard of the memory protected mode thing. But how exactly does it work? Does these multitasking environments work for most programs, or only multi- task-able programs? How does the CPU handle these events? Thanks in advance the valuable assistance.
