[comp.sys.amiga] Creating Tasks and Processes; also deleting them.

flaps@utcsri.UUCP (05/16/87)

I would like to make a task created with AddTask() into a process.  I have
already been playing with AddTask().  Much to my surprise, in Rob Peck's
book (Programmer's Guide to the Amiga), in listing 9.2 on page 309 he says
that the function which is AddTasked cannot fall off the end!  Have I merely
been lucky so far?

For making a process the only thing he discusses is CreateProc()!  This is
also very surprising to me.  Is there no way to make a function into a process
without reading things from the disk, like with AddTask()??  (Yes I know
I could put them in ram:, or even run them off a pipe: probably.  The point
is that I don't have the memory to do this kind of thing as I want to run
tens of processes on a 512k amiga.)

All responses appreciated; if you e-mail me I'll post a summary.
