Greetings. I am writing a multi-user database program that will run off a 386 based server. I will have no more that 4 users. I am in the first stage : looking for a multi-user shell. I have the documentation for CTask 2.0 (if anyone has newer verions, please let me know) and it seems to be just about right for my application. I am just wondering if there is a better way than create 4 tasks, run them under CTask, and have 4 terminals that communicate with the 4 tasks? (pseudo-multi-user?) The reason for the magic number 4 is the fact that that's the maximum number of "painless" COM ports... I would appreciate any suggestions. I am looking for comments on CTask, better programs, other ways of "doing it", etc. Thank you. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ "The Force will be with you, always."
