Hi All Dear Eu Users: On this subject, What about standard RDS's sched.e from langwar directory. Is it too bad or somewhat else ? Same about topaz?.zips, engine21.zip, ese.zip, euthread.tar from the RDS Archive best contributors. I like sched.e's multitasking idea, very clear and simple, I think. And I saw Java's threads - SOS! (JAVA NOW! by Kris Jamsa) Why not sched.e ? Maybe this and other libs above were discussed in the list, I just don't know. Multitasking (with fast powerful CPU) is very-very useful thing, but I don't think it must be built-in to (into?) the Eu interpreters if there are sched.e methods just now and Eu really can provide this service -- play lw.ex and see. Multitasking is OS's duty and it is not clear for me what really does do {java & browser & windows & applet} system to move images in the browser's window and why java's threads are much better than simple animated .gifs -- place ton of gifs into your html and see ton of purest threads, no ? Oh, yes, yes, gifs, all your gifs are licensed property of another author, yes, sorry ... If you don't want risk, use java's threads instead of gifs. Nobody know laws ... Only Bill ... I think, Bill of MS just doesn't know what to do with extra power of modern puters )-: ??? and just *slow* down a poor floppy in W2k with ten extra threads (:ten, not ton:). (-: just bad jokes of an operator of perpetual a 386 But your CPU cycles, your floppy and your time are yours properties, not Bill's. Sorry please. But there is some positive sense in these jokes and questions, no ? Well, again, why not sched.e ? Rob writes : "This is perhaps the most interesting source file since it shows a simple technique of task scheduling that could be used in any action game or simulation program. We have implemented a form of cooperative multitasking to manage over 10 independent tasks. There is a task that moves the Euphoria, another task ..." -- just read please sched.e.
