- ========================================================================
- Lets just hope that Eric gets some time off Jaguar (or whatever he
- is busy with), so that he can gather the latest patches, and hopefully come
- out with a new AES as well...
- ========================================================================
-
- Does anyone know what the two AES "devices" do? Once controlls multitasking
- of AES apps and the other is the AES "bios" device. I'm guessing that the
- AES uses the multitasking device for to swap tasks by having them use the
- device select() ??? And the BIOS device handles the keyboard ????
- I'm guessing here. Anyone know the answer?
-
- Also, as far as having a "quitable AES" and having the AES understand job
- control, my bet is that Eric Smith is the one to talk to about this :-)
- I bet changing these "devices" would do it.
-
- As far as making the AES quit for real .. why doesn't MiNT free the memory
- that the AES took? It does doesn't it? What else is needed? I guess
- you can try closing the physical VDI workstation that GEM opens. Has
- anyone tried closing the workstation to see if you can restart GEM ?
