- I'm certainly no guru with ada tasking, but I do know that the
- ada83 tasking model does not have hard time constraints, so I am
- also confused by this. My current DOS ada compiler has a "preemptive"
- runtime and a non preemptive runtime. (I don't know which one it is
- validated with, and don't really care since I don't use tasking at the
- moment. I guess validation may require that a single task gets dispatched
- to "some time". This may be hard to ensure if another task is in a loop.
-
- For all you vendors out there, who is going to support windows NT and when.
- And now the killer question. If you say you can not validate on 3.1 due
- to tasking restrictions, does this also mean that ada executables will not
- be able to run on win32s?? Paying customers want to know??
