FINAL NOTE ON MULTI TASKING
Age_Of_War fully supports shared files and dose all its reading and
writing in shared mode. Only one game can be in use per node. All
data for each user is loaded into memory at the start of the game.
This keeps all players Nations growing and involved in the game at
all time. Since the game runs with no IO if node 1 is playing game
1 then it well be blocked off from access by other nodes tell node
1 exits the game.
Thanks you for trying Age_Of_War!
Yours,
Charles Marchant
