My point was not to throw around jargon, but you're right; PMT by itself is not a guarantee of OS stability. I am unable to comment on your friend's Amiga.

Very well. You want jargon, you have it. Would you agree that the features of a "modern microkernel OS" include virtual resources (memory and timeslicing), PCBs, process queues, a dispatcher, etc.? It just so happens that PMT goes hand-in-hand with these features. What PMT OS doesn't have at least some of these features? Regards, Walter Hsueh hsuehw@ecf.utoronto.ca
