About opendos1.zip                                              15.VII.1997
==================

This package contains two Turbo Pascal 6.0 units.
The first one, opendos.pas, deals with the basic functions
of the multitasker (infos, names, ID, switching, renaming,
and how to launch a new task); cut-and-paste between tasks
are not included.
The second unit, taskmon.pas, is a task monitor for the Turbo
Vision environment; an example, tmontest.pas, shows how to
use it.

Special requirements: OpenDOS 7.01 or later (but it should
work under DR-DOS or Novell DOS); a Pascal compiler compatible
with TP 6.0.

The package is public domain, freely distributable.
