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. -- // Alan J Rosenthal // \\ // flaps@csri.toronto.edu, {seismo!utai or utzoo}!utcsri!flaps, \// flaps@toronto on csnet, flaps at utorgpu on bitnet.
