I think it would be accurate to say (I'm sure David will correct me if
I'm wrong) that GWindows supports tasking in the sense that multiple
tasks can access the GUI. But (some) operations on a particular object
are limited (by Windows) to a particular task. OTOH, Claw allows any
task to make any operation on any object, the only restriction being the
standard shared variable one in Ada: two tasks cannot operate on the
same object at the same time.
