There is a nifty article concerning DOS multi-tasking using the Zortech compiler in the Feb. 89 issue of the Dobbs Journal. Not that it hasn't been done before, but apparently it can be done with a notable gain in elegance and simplicity using C++. The author, a Mr. Tom Green, mentions a couple of "unfortunatelys", the compiler not generating inline code in all instances, and an error in attempting to get the segment of a near function pointer, forcing the use of the small model. Perhaps, Mr. Bright could indicate whether these have been fixed with the current version, as I would assume the project in the article was some time in the works and might have been done with something previous to 1.07. At any rate, evidence is mounting that the Zortech compiler is a major league tool with major league possibilities. Ted Holden HTE
