Hi Larry. Believe me, you're not the first to suggest using the Amiga's own multitasking capabilities. It's something we've thought about and decided against, for a number of reasons. First, this is a product which we are porting to several platforms and we'd like to keep the number of significantly different versions of the code to a minimum. Also, we'd like the program to run as a single process on the Amiga, freeing up system resources for the owner to get other work done. Plus, it would be quite a job to re-do the way we do interprocess communication. In short, we don't want to rewrite it, we just want to port it.
