OpenEuphoria

I have an very early version you and ry worked on that just had taskset and taskget. I don't recall any competing system. I don't think anything was ever committed.

the code could be added to task.e to work out any details prior to getting builtin. please post your version. I doubt anything could be added to version 4.0, though it would likely not be a breaking change anyway.

I have probably modified this, don't have any of the original files.

sequence taskvars_ids = {} 
sequence taskvars_datas = {} 
public include task.e 
--** 
--==== task get/set var 
-- from 09/2009 useless/kat rwilly/ryanj irc/euforum. 
-- why were these not added to task.e? 
-- a later version treated vars more like a stack 
-- possibly tracking multiple variables per task? 
-- and added a msg que per task. 
-- then the project imploded? 
 
-- this is an earlier simple cutup version. 
-- multiple calls to set will overwrite the task var 
-- get does not remove and there is no message que.
