Description:
In a nutshell, Tornado can be described as 'a Filecore for Wimp apps'.
It is designed to force a standard look onto Wimp apps, while
simultaneously making writing easy, and enhancing life for the user.
Tornado will function as a library, a filing system, and general
support. Above all, the design of Tornado is to increase productivity,
although at initial programmer expense, the result will be a fast,
responsive, and above all a productive machine. If it works, it shall
be seen how this will improve life for Acorns everywhere. The current
package includes:
* BackSave: prototype i/o engine for i/o under interrupts.
* FSsource: prototype tfs: source
* GBPB : part of the Tornado charter on multitasking.
* HeapExt : Basic prototype of the Heap+ standard
* Info : recruitment statement asking for help!
* MultiRun: a program illustrating how to break up loads using OS_GBPB.
