Hi!

Thanks for the code you provided. I'm going to try to use setjmp/longjmp.
The only thing I don't understand is how you set up the jmp_buf structure
initially. How do I run a task for the first time? Could someone please
explain it? (Sadly I'm quite in a rush for trial&error.) Thanks in
advance.
