I came across "CTask22" on > "wuarchive", and was wondering if someone could comment on it. Ctask 2.2 has lots of satisfied users, with lots of nontrivial applications. I can report a problem or two (Thomas Wagner: this is NOT a complaint!) I've experienced having the PC choke when a Ctask22 application, which is a TSR, does disk I/O at the same time as another TSR. Another user reported a similar problem, except his "other TSR" was a network server of some obscure type. For plain-Jane cooperating subtasks, it is great however. No Windows support - yet - but Thomas is known to be looking at the problem. - David Andrews tarpit!bilver!dandrews
