If I recall from recent messages correctly, you want to do the exact same thing that PopCLI III does. I don't know if that's on the Fish disks, but you should be able to pick it up, source code and all, from just about any- where, 'cuz I guess it's public domain.

But I'd like to create a Task, NOT a Process. It's easy to create a process, I just use Manx's detach.o. But as the stuff I'm doing doesn't need to be a process, Id rather create a Task. This leads to a question: "Is this really significant? Are Tasks significantly 'lighter' than processes? How much overhead does a process cause over a task?" I DON'T want to use LoadSeg() approach as both the parent and the task itself are really small and it would seem useless to split it in two executables. ------- - Kari Sutela - lk-kari@fintuvm.utu.fi (internet) OR lk-kari@fintuvm.bitnet (bitnet)
