Subject: RE: TOS internals?

Author: Mr. B.B.C. (pD9E881D3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) Date: 03-23-2003 23:48 TOS was indeed somehow a DOS clone. But it went its own ways; it was enhanced for graphic, sound and MIDI. It is also a single task OS. The gigantic difference is GEM. This can't be compared in any way with DOS. Processes were not managed in TOS 1.x - there was no multitasking; only the extension .APP was preserved for the day, when multitasking should come... Perhaps you'll find a function reference of TOS/GEM in the Internet... Search for "XBIOS" and "logbase", "setscreen" and "giaccess".
