- OK, first of all, I do realize that the Mac OS does not yet support real
- Multitasking (nor does MS Windows). But, I keep hearing about certain
- applications or inits that allow programs to run in the background (like
- the one that allows Think C to compile in the background). What I want
- to do is allow our 3D rendering software to render in the background to
- the user can use the modeller etc. while rendering. Could someone either
- post, or point me to some documented code to set this up? What are the
- limits and conditions to this? We are already doing this under Windows,
- so I imagine a similar process should be possible on the Mac.
-
- Any and all related information will be greatly appreciated.
