-
- Welcome to Mike Parker's Mailbox Multitasker Package,
- the Portable "C" Multitasking Environment!
-
- The purpose of this package is to 1) encourage multitasking exploration and
- use and 2) to provide a portable standard for multitasking on personal
- computers.
-
- There are three layers to the Mailbox Multitasker. Release 0.7 (06/27/88) is
- a beta release of the lowest (MPTHD) layer (works) and a alpha release of the
- middle (MPTSK) layer. The highest (MPRES) layer is included but untested. A
- complete 1.0 release forthcoming.
-
-
- Permission is granted to put the lowest (MPTHD) and middle (MPTSK) layer into applications and to experiment with the third layer (MPRES).
-
- Permission is also granted to BYTE Magazine to distribute this package and
- associated files on the BIX bulletin board system (see the article "First
- Come, First Served" in the July 1988 BYTE for more details).
-
- In general, this package is distributed as "shareware": permission is granted
- to freely distribute Mailbox and associated files and documentation at no
- cost, provided:
-
- It is not DISTRIBUTED or PUBLISHED for commercial gain
- (except for BYTE MAGAZINE)
-
- It is not USED (in programs) for commercial gain WITHOUT
- paying the license fee (see below).
-
- All copyright notices and provisions are preserved.

- package.
