#3.1 worth it?
I hate, no I love to say this, but the Amiga OS has always allowed multiple
tasks per process. Only they are called Tasks, not Threads. They are actually
the same thing-They both use the same memory space of the parent and they both
create their own stack. The only difference is that OS/2 calls them Threads
while Amiga calls them Tasks. It is interesting how close they operate, even in
their invocation: DosCreateThread in OS/2 vs CreateTask in Amiga OS. But the
term Task came first, that is why such systems are called MultiTasking and not
MultiThreading.
