particular. Simply place MulAware in your USES statement.
USES

See the enclosed MULAWARE.INT for complete documentation on the

the supported multitaskers, and returns an errorlevel based on
what it finds.

the shareware/freeware/pd programmers, to whom I certainly owe a
lot. Please read the DISCLAIMER & FREEWARE AGREEMENT earlier in
