GNAT & Tasking

GNAT & Tasking

[paladino]

Hello,

I am trying to multi-task with GNAT but I have the following problem.

I have one task looping from the Realtime clock and I want another task
to
receive information from ethernet at the same time.  If I loop on the
realtime clock then the ethernet code does not run.  If I comment out
the
realtime clock then the ethernet code runs.

Any Ideas?

I finished a correspondence some time last week about the shortcomings of the 
current scheduler under MS-DOS (stop reading now if you are not using DOS). It 
has disappeared from my news articles list but to sum up:
  jerry@jvdsys.nextjk.stuyts.nl informed me that DELAY " ... should put the 
task to sleep, however in the current DOS version it does not do this ..."
and went on " ... A next DOS version should definitely include this capability 
... "
  dewar@merv.cs.nyu.edu stated that "ACT has dropped support for DOS and has 
no plans to develop a release past the 3.07 one"

I hope this helps even if in a negative way.
