Just a quick question for you Amiga multi-taksers:

How can you ensure safe multi-tasking with out an MMU?

It would seem that any program could write abitrarily into any
other program's memory - thus causing obvious problems.  Is there
protection against such on the Amiga, or was the initial poster right
in that the *program* must insure compatiblity with multi-tasking by
asking the system for memory or something?

Just curious,
Stu
