Re: TIB: Multitasking




In a message dated 98-02-19 16:52:31 EST, you write:

<< It's not built for it. It would be possible to multitask assembly
 programs specifically written to be multitasked with a separate
 interrupt handler. Changing between assembly programs is not
 too hard and could be done with just about any existing
 program. It's running them in the background that's impossible. >>

in the background?  sort of like trying to run a fast moving game like
jezzball while also playing tetris?

Also, how is it then that something like Windows can have programs running
like that and still not have them shown on the screen?  l guess it would be
like having different layers of places for the program to run on the screen,
and when you switch to it, it just comes to the top...right?
