[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Tasks and processes, some EXEC questions

leh@beach.cis.ufl.edu ( ) (05/17/89)

Two quickie questions:


1	In exec/types.h
		"typedef unsigned char *STRPTR;
		 typedef STRPTR *APTR;"

	What is the reason behind this? It seems to be saying " STRPTR
	is a pointer to char (OK) and APTR is a pointer to a pointer to
	char (WHY?)"

2	How do you load in new code that will be executed by a new task
	or process? [references or code would be appreciated]
