- Task Window Multitasking Module Version 0.15 (07-Sep-92)
- Copyright (c) 1992 Petrov Software

-
- This is pre-release (demo) version of the multitasking module. It
- allows to run many non-desktop applications in a window under Desktop.
- Although the current version contains numerous bugs I've still decided
- it may be useful. Besides I suppose if you'll have some ideas related
- to this module, you write me (please!).
- This version supports screen mode changing (but not palette),
- functions keys, cursor editing, etc. (but Escape handling is not very
- well now...)
- The module currently provides single star-command: *TaskStart (no
- parameters can be passed in this version). It will open a window with
- supervisor started. You can enter any *-commands, run programs, etc.
- To abort the performing of current command you can close window
- (current version only).
- You can have problems with some sound applications and games.
-
- No mouse support provided in this version.
-
- I've tried to run some software and find the following:
- E-type works (but problems with mouse and two screen banks)
- Interdictor - the same problems
- !Soldier demo (from Clares Micro Supplies) - works well
- !Toy - doesn't work (problem with sound)
- Basic Editor - works well (but don't try to run it in 2 windows at
- once)
- Desktop Stories (!Hello) - works (mouse)
-
-
- This version is Public Domain. You can freely distribute it in the
- original form.
-
- If you find the module useful and wish always have last versions of
- our programs, and want to support russian programmers writing for
- Acorn computers, small sum of money would be appreciated.
-
- Any suggestions are welcome!
