Is there anyway to find any Task's Segments given simply the Task structure? I was looking at a little utility to print Task/ Process structures & could see no pointer to the code... -harvey "I believe it is terribly important to extend to these new digital media the same strong First Amendment protections of freedom of speech and freedom of expression which we enjoy in our own lives and in the print media.

I was looking at a little utility to print Task/ Not all tasks consist of a segment list, so you can't do this for everything. I think the closest you can get for tasks only is the PC register from the stack when it is not active (so presumably you have to disable interrupts to kill task switching, pluck the value(s), then enable interrupts again). If the task is a Process, though, you can use the pointer in the struct Process, which is a superset of the struct Task (ie: struct Process *me = (struct Process *)FindTask(NULL);). > -harvey -- *** John Bickers, TAP, NZAmigaUG. jbickers@templar.actrix.gen.nz *** *** "Patterns multiplying, re-direct our view" - Devo. ***
