MX2 already does a fairly good job of simple multi-tasking. What we need to be able to do is multi-task in GEM. Right now, the machine will crash because the GEM code cannot be reentred when it is being used (it uses global rather than local variables). To multi-task with real ST applications, you would have to at least save all of the internal GEM variables with every context switch. --- * Via ProDoor 3.0R
