Development notes on Tornado II RISC-OS support module v0.10alpha

re: Relating to use of this support module by non-tornado based clients

by N. Douglas

The enclosed module provides preemptive multitasking facilities for the
RISC-OS varient of tornado II. These facilities however are available to the
system rather than just tornado II and so may be safely used by code not
belonging to tornado.
   Possible uses of this support module by non-tornado code mainly reside in
allowing RISC-OS Wimp applications to break the cooperative multitasking
forced on them by the RISC-OS Wimp and instead be preempted.

These facilities are detailed inside this directory. Please note the
limitations imposed by this version of the support module on some of the
facilities. In addition to this many facilites referred to by the
documentation have not been implemented yet - eg; none of the thread stuff.

Please see the enclosed demo application for a practical example.
