	I am using a PC XT to control and acquire data from my 
experimental aparatus.  I need to collect data that is 
	(A) continuous over the time of the experiment. 
	(B) data that is collected over a short period. 
Can anyone please advice me on how to achieve the background data
acquisition needed when I am collecting (B) type data, so that I would not 
lose the (A) type data.  So kind of multiasking or concurrent processing
would be great.  I would also like to run mutliple (B) type acquisition
at the same time, which is not possible under our current data acquisition
scheme.
	Thanks in advance.
