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.
