Ok,ok, I know this is a dumb question but.... A friend (?) told me that Atari is going to come out with a multi-tasking version of TOS. I personally think this is a bunch of ca-ca but the idea intrigues me enough to risk embarrassment and ask. IS ATARI GOING TO COME OUT WITH A MULTI TASKING VERSION OF TOS? or a more reasonable question... Is there any type of multi tasking done on the ST (besides minix,mx2)? someone posted a couple of weeks ago about seeing a multi-tasking kernal written on of all things a C-64 in basic. Can this be done in say GFA basic? I know that with all the problems Atari had with TOS 1.4 that they probably would not think of doing something as big as a MULTI-TOS(besides probable loss of downward compatibility) but some kind of multi-tasking would be great. -- uucp: mcnc!rti!sunpix!steve or mcnc!rti!sunpix!allegro | Stephen McKay Matson "FRODO LIVES!!" | Dreams of Colorado keep me going another day.
