- Development notes on Tornado II RISC-OS support module v0.10alpha
-
- re: Relating to use of this support module by non-tornado based clients
-
- by N. Douglas
-
- The enclosed module provides preemptive multitasking facilities for the
- RISC-OS varient of tornado II. These facilities however are available to the
- system rather than just tornado II and so may be safely used by code not
- belonging to tornado.
- Possible uses of this support module by non-tornado code mainly reside in
- allowing RISC-OS Wimp applications to break the cooperative multitasking
- forced on them by the RISC-OS Wimp and instead be preempted.
-
- These facilities are detailed inside this directory. Please note the
- limitations imposed by this version of the support module on some of the
- facilities. In addition to this many facilites referred to by the
- documentation have not been implemented yet - eg; none of the thread stuff.
-
- Please see the enclosed demo application for a practical example.
