Kurt, Dr T's MPE environment is a port from the Atari ST system of doing things. They needed to bring to that platform a way of sharing data between programs and a way of "multitasking". I'm sure most of the code and architecture is the same. I'm also sure that they could have found a better way to implement it on the Amiga, but that's Dr T's way of doing things. I believe David Silver is still the only full time Amiga programmer at Dr T, so time restraints have to be taken into consideration. Regards, Allen
