- There are two ways to multitask: rely on the underlying OS to do it
- for you (this usually gives you memory protection, too) or do it under
- Executor. On some platforms we already do some of the former.
- Executor/NEXTSTEP does this best, with Executor/Linux coming in
- second. After we port to Win32 and OS/2 we'll beef up the cut and
- paste and file sharing capabilities of Executor so that you'll be able
- to do nice things on all those platforms.
-
- We're not sure when we'll look into making Executor directly
- multi-task. We need to know what Apple's reaction to us is going to
- be and see how far we can get with the tack above.
