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. Randy.
