A simple one >might be to create tasks for sorting a deck of cards. The main program I had an OS class where we built a mini-OS (on top of the real one, of course), using tasks. We used Concurrent-C for it, but I always thought Ada would have been a much better choice. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
