Subject: ANNOUNCE : Palantir 0.3 multitasking kernel for Allegro.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Precedence: bulk

Hi,
I'm glad to announce the new version of my multitasking kernel for
Allegro (originaly based on PDMLWP and JTLWP)

Palantir v0.3            Allegro events, pre-emptieve multitasking
kernel. 

   - Pre-emtieve multitasking kernel with priorityies.
   - Mutex-semaphores, yield()
   - Universal *DEVICE* interface.(KEYBOARD,MOUSE,COMM, etc.)
   - Transparent (for developer) collecting of hardware and software
events.
     The only thing you need, just create handler for desired device.
     No while(TRUE) { if(mouse); if (keyboard); do_move(); do_...} loop.
     Events driven system, instead of it.
   - Developer defined level of task priority.
   - Start point for creating events driven GUI, SHELL, etc.
   - Include DZComm 0.4.1 
   - Freeware (full C source).

Note : current version tested with Allegro 3.0
You may get it from my download page.

Changes from 0.2b :

- a lot of bug fixed.
- new example added.
- more detailed documentation attached.
