- FINAL NOTE ON MULTI TASKING
-
- Age_Of_War fully supports shared files and dose all its reading and
- writing in shared mode. Only one game can be in use per node. All
- data for each user is loaded into memory at the start of the game.
- This keeps all players Nations growing and involved in the game at
- all time. Since the game runs with no IO if node 1 is playing game
- 1 then it well be blocked off from access by other nodes tell node
- 1 exits the game.
-
-
-
- Thanks you for trying Age_Of_War!

- Yours,
