If I wanted such a silly thing, which I don't, it would take me most of an afternoon to write an Amiga utility which prevented starvation of tasks of lower priority (than the utility). Such a program on the Amiga is Soooo simple, but on many other systems it is next to impossible. (I actually spent a few minutes thinking whether I could hack it together as a script--it is doable, but would probably have too much overhead when just "sitting there". Ah-hah!!! If I needed such a thing, I could probably pipe the input to and output from xoper...just checked the xoper docs--doesn't look too hard.) Okay so not only is this sort of utility possible on the Amgia, Werner Gunther has done most of the work for you. -- Robert I.
