I have tried to use the encore's multitasking by using the X11 gif viewer code, called xgif and run two gif viewers as different tasks. However, the X11 code needs to access the environment information to do a call to XOpenDisplay, and X cannot find the _environ or some other information and fails. the problem appears to be an incompatibility with the encore's taskcrt0.o file or some other. This is really disappointing, as the encore's multitasking should work with the X11 libraries, as this is the preferred interface of many people due to its shared nature. can anyone help me out with a solution or ideas as to how to run X11 with encore's multitasking called through parallel.h and the compiler directive -q extensions= parallel I can be contacted as rcomg@chudich.co.rmit.oz
