   Task Window         Multitasking Module        Version 0.15 (07-Sep-92)
   Copyright (c) 1992 Petrov Software 


 This is pre-release (demo) version of the multitasking module. It
allows to run many non-desktop applications in a window under Desktop.
Although the current version contains numerous bugs I've still decided
it may be useful. Besides I suppose if you'll have some ideas related
to this module, you write me (please!).
 This version supports screen mode changing (but not palette),
functions keys, cursor editing, etc. (but Escape handling is not very
well now...)
 The module currently provides single star-command: *TaskStart (no
parameters can be passed in this version). It will open a window with
supervisor started. You can enter any *-commands, run programs, etc.
 To abort the performing of current command you can close window
(current version only).
 You can have problems with some sound applications and games.

 No mouse support provided in this version.

 I've tried to run some software and find the following:
   E-type works (but problems with mouse and two screen banks)
   Interdictor -  the same problems
   !Soldier demo (from Clares Micro Supplies) - works well
   !Toy - doesn't work (problem with sound)
   Basic Editor - works well (but don't try to run it in 2 windows at 
                              once)
   Desktop Stories (!Hello) - works (mouse)


 This version is Public Domain. You can freely distribute it in the
original form.  

 If you find the module useful and wish always have last versions of
our programs, and want to support russian programmers writing for
Acorn computers, small sum of money would be appreciated. 
                                         
                    Any suggestions are welcome!
