- There are a number of problems actually. One of the major ones is that
- JM uses the tc_Switch and tc_Launch vectors of the task structure for
- its own purposes. This is OK with about 99% of all software out there,
- but the other 1% or so tries to use them too, and won't work together
- with JM.
-
- There are other problems, too, but that's one of the major ones.
-
- I was going to rewrite it, but having a "real job" puts a damper on how
- much time I can spend messing with stuff like that. Anyway, now that
- Executive has appeared there probably isn't much point. (Although I
- have not personally seen executive, it sounds like it does more than JM
- does. I did look at the archive once, and many of the commands even
- have the same names and output formats as JM did, so it looks like it'd
- be easy to get used to).
-
- Although JM does have one advantage: its free.
