Does any body know where to find some good doc's or tutorials on MultiTasking?
I would go on a chat and ask but no ones on at 1AM.

RE:Multi-tasking
I'd just take a look at some of the OSs on this board... or read a good document on Intel architecture... it's actually not too difficult to implement basic TSS based multitasking; took me a couple of hours, and I'd never done it before, so...
I used Mindshare's "Protected Mode System's Architecture" as my reference throughout the entire process of implementing multi-tasking. It served me quite well (and for many other things as well... the book is invaluable!)

RE:Multi-tasking
Cheers!
It always seems so simple after actually doing it, eh?
I hate that! I've had so many tasks that I thought would be really difficult, so I delayed them... but once I actually got into them, they weren't too bad
For example, large granularity (4kb/1 page) memory allocation with lists... thought it'd be crazy-hard, but once you delve into it, it just clicks.
Perhaps not the greatest advice for new-commers... I've been doin' this stuff for years. You're still gonna struggle the first time; I did. But sometimes you just gotta bite down and go at it.
Cheers,
Jeff
