 Well, I want to see Shadow of the beast multitask using OS calls...
 Technicly possible! but you wont run at the same frame rate.
 And how cares about OS routines for the copper if you have your view!
 Dont get me wrong, I use UCoplist on intuition screen.(Just in case
 people get the wrong idea......)
 The ONLY reason you want to use system call is for not touching the
 hardware, so mixing both hardware/software call is just wierd.
 (Dont forget its game programing, not multitasking aplication
 programing: for the readers).

 Shadow can multitask without using the OS, well, just whats actually
 needed.When I say multitasking its 'outiside' the intuition display...
 Time will tell if somebody is willing to do something like that.
