Stephen, Correct me if I am wrong, but Windows NT has preemptive multitasking. Windows 95 is still cooperative multitasking like the Mac OS. I'm not a programmer, so my information is sketchy, but I think that both Windows 95 and Mac OS 8.1 have cooperative multitasking with the ability to multi-thread. Applications can work in parallel without being aware of each other as long as they are written to take advantage of multi-threading without hogging the processor's time. We have a few programmers who follow this thread. Anyone care to settle this? HerbVic
