The Task Manager is a package for creating and managing tasks-separate
execution threads that run nonpreemptively in the background. Tasks
should periodically call a Task Manager yielding routine to allow other
tasks to run. Tasks are ideal for lengthy processes that you would
like to run in the background, since the task runs in a separate
execution thread from your event loop.
Michael Hecht wrote The Task Manager using THINK C 5.0.1, and I
converted in to Pascal using THINK Pascal 4.0.1. The documentation
is unchanged from Michael's, so it refers to C prodcedure's, but
I'm sure you can figure it out.
Hope its useful to someone,
Peter.
