- .SH "MULTIMAX DIFFERENCES"
- The umax operating system does not assign process ids sequentially, so
- there is no "last pid" display. Process state names are: run, exec,
- wait, event, start, stop. Information about physical memory is
- displayed on the memory status line, but information about virtual
- memory is not available. WCPU is not displayed. Percent CPU is
- calculated ove the entire life of the process and is a measure of the
- percentage of the process's life time spent running. This is very
- different from the typical Unix measure of percent cpu, but is the
- best that can be done with the information available. Also, no
- attempt is made to determine if a process is currently "idle", thus
- the -I flag is assumed to always be true (idle processes are displayed).
-
- The multimax port is not thorough and not complete. It was done more
- as an exercise in porting top than as an effort to create something
- useful. Currently cpu state percentages are not calculated.

- The Multimax port was written by William LeFebvre.
