Maybe for example longjump from timer interrupt to main program and then jump again to spawned program... In other words, can someone make or tell me where can I find i.e. program that will run some program.exe with is DOS program, and while program.exe is executing, main program will i.e. count square roots 0..100,000 in background (about 50% time for program and 50% for spawned program)... I will be _VERY_ greatfull :) Thanks -- Raf256 C++ TP JAVA 3DMax POV HTML <== Email me if U need developer ,--, _ ,- _ _ _ ,---------------------------------------------, |,-'`_|_|_ `_||_'|_' | raf256 AT go2 DOT pl http://strony.wp.pl/wp/raf256 | | `\(_) | |_,,_||_| | upt256 AT wp DOT pl SMS 504-727-464 |
