- Description:
-
- In a nutshell, Tornado can be described as 'a Filecore for Wimp apps'.
- It is designed to force a standard look onto Wimp apps, while
- simultaneously making writing easy, and enhancing life for the user.
- Tornado will function as a library, a filing system, and general
- support. Above all, the design of Tornado is to increase productivity,
- although at initial programmer expense, the result will be a fast,
- responsive, and above all a productive machine. If it works, it shall
- be seen how this will improve life for Acorns everywhere. The current
- package includes:
-
- * BackSave: prototype i/o engine for i/o under interrupts.
- * FSsource: prototype tfs: source
- * GBPB : part of the Tornado charter on multitasking.
- * HeapExt : Basic prototype of the Heap+ standard
- * Info : recruitment statement asking for help!
- * MultiRun: a program illustrating how to break up loads using OS_GBPB.
