As Allan mentioned, there are a LOT of problems with existing applications
on a multitasking TOS (example: these programs, taht malloc all the
memory).

A good test for well-behaving programs is Michtrons program 'juggler',
which 'simulates' basically a multitasking GEM.

So, wouldn't it be a good idea to make a list of "DO's AND DONT's" NOW.
Otherwise, there will never be a multitasking GEM for the ST, because
few programs will run.
