I have some questions regarding GNO and SIT. I think this should be included in the FAQ. What kind of applications can gno multi-task? And what kind of applications can SIT multi-task. I would also like to some _minimum_ support for P8 with GNO. I think many of us can agree that PT3 is simply the best telecom program available for the GS right now ( overall ). I would like to be able to run it when I get GNO. Since GNO can terminate and resume processes, I see no problem of terminating processes, run P8 stuff, return to the shell, and then resume the processes. If would be even nicer if Greg would make PT3 more gs/os aware... lowercase support, better yet, FST support. Break the 63.5k editor limit. I heard that SIT includes stack swapping; so direct page don't really run out. How does GNO handle the limited bank 0 space? Will stack swapping be included in v1.1? Does GNO context switch prefixes too? Thanks.
