/* Res.C - Autodetach code for Manx in C
**
** Thanks to Eddy Carrol for his groundwork in assembler. I rewrote it
** in C 'cause assembly isn't really my favourite language..
** (Eddy's code also contains a few potential bugs..)
**
** Eddy writes good documentation, so get "CPUBlit" from Fred Fish and
** study the source code and docs there..
**
** Synopsis for res:
**
** struct Task *pid = res(char *name, int pri, int (*kickoff)(), int stack)
**
** kickoff() will be spawned as a completely selfcontained process. Caller's
** code will not be UnLoadSeg'ed until kickoff() terminates (exit() is a no-no
** in kickoff(), use return(doscode)!)
**
** There's more, so read Eddy's docs!
**
** This file is part of the Powerpacker Patcher project.
** Copyright 1991, Michael Berg. (Thanx Eddy!)
