Subject:       Multitasking - some questions 
Message-ID: <3B7A2E0B15@spy.isp.nsc.ru>


 Hi!
 
 So the question is : %subj%
 I mean what I must keep in mind while developing 
 multitasking environment ?
 I've already developed "integer" one for Watcom and
 now porting it to djgpp. That's it, I've queued DOS 
 non-reentrant int 21h, but have no idea what to do 
 with FPU (i've heard it might be a problem)
 Can anyone help or redirect me to faq, help or something ?
 
 For someone who wanna to know what to wait for ;-)
 
 Features :
 Concurent multitasking with priority, message processing (i.e thread 
 can send/receive messages), name support (i.e u can name thread,
 post box or something else and get ID for the given name), process
 sheduling (i.e suspend thread until event occur) ...
 
 To do :
 Port to djgpp, add FPU support, add run_thread_on_event feature 
 (this may be extremly usable in GUI) and much more.
 
 Availability :
 Soon it'll be available ! ;)) hehe, just after i'll do those to-do's
 
 Next Global Step : 
 Add Loadable Modules Support !!!
 
 -- Give peace a chance ! --
