LOUIS RIZZUTO had something deep to write about Real-time


LR> I didn't know interpreted BASIC could interface to assembler.

The BASIC interpreter was coded into the chip's internal ROM, and I
had an off-chip ROM containing some assembled interrupt routines and
functions, as well as some BASIC code--not something you can run under
OS/2.

LR> Does any similar definion exist within OS/2 for high priority -
LR> aka "real-time" tasks?   I presume that somewhere in IBM's OS/2
LR> literature - and perhaps in the C++ literature "real-time" is
LR> addressed - where might that be for both OS/2 and C++

Look for DosSetPriority.  There are four priority classes: idle time,
regular, time critical, and foreground server.  Depending on your needs
for response, time critical or foreground server might be appropriate
for "real-time" programs under OS/2.
