DoubleDOS

OS/2 2.0
DOS 5.0 Task Switcher and Compatibles

HOW TO USE MulAware
If you are using TP 6.0, rename MULAWARE.TP6 to MULAWARE.TPU. If
you are using TP 7.0, rename MULAWARE.TP7 to MULAWARE.TPU. Since
this is a programmer's tool, I'm going to assume you have decent
knowledge of computers in general, and Turbo Pascal in particular.
Simply place MulAware in your USES statement.
Uses
Crt,
MulAware,
Dos;
See the enclosed MULAWARE.INT for complete documentation on the
Constants, Types, Variables, Functions, and Procedures in MulAware.
The enclosed MULTEST.PAS is a sample program that tests for all
the supported multitaskers, and returns an errorlevel based on
what it finds.
UNTESTED MULTITASKERS
MulAware has not been tested under Windows NT, DoubleDOS, TaskView,
TopView, and OmniView. If you would like to donate a copy of any
of these for testing, feel free to do so :)
REGISTRATION
MulAware is distributed as FreeWare. This is a contribution to all
the shareware/freeware/pd programmers, to whom I certainly owe a
lot. Please read the DISCLAIMER & FREEWARE AGREEMENT earlier in
the documentation for more information.
Source code is available from ABSoft. Please see the enclosed
registration form for information and pricing.
