From: Martyn Capewell <mmc28@hermes.cam.ac.uk>
Hello,
I'm confused about the capabilities of tasks and processes. For example, is
it true I can't use dos library functions, or anything that may invoke one
of those functions from a task?
If I start a program from Workbench (rather than a shell), is it running as
a task or a process? And if it is running as a task, how do I use dos
functions from it?
Finally, what does AllocDosObject() do? The autodocs don't seem to help.
Thanks,
