[comp.lang.c] CTask and multi-user?

fmgst@unix.cis.pitt.edu (Filip Gieszczykiewicz) (09/27/90)

	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.
