Re: SwiftForth Survey

Hi, all

I have question to developers of SwiftForth system that had arisen from Rick's
question
> 1. Do you use the current multi-tasking model in SwiftForth? This
> is the "old" model multi-tasker, with PAUSE and CONSTRUCT and ACTIVATE.

Cause the time of Windows95 was over I think about Fiber-mechanism that are
built-in Win32 API set
It will provide something similar to cooperative multitasking in one
process/thread but not in Windows system.
I think it will be the best way for SwiftForth.

Though writing multithreaded application under Win32 it is not easy,
one must know which synchronization object to use and when to use.
I want to point waitabletimer-objects out. It may provide good mechanism
similar to watchdog-timers.

So I prefer to leave old model and extend it.
