Hi Bernie
I wish somebody would change "current" for "any".
In multitasking Windows I can start downloading a file, I minimize
the window and go browsing somewhere else. while downloading.
I am aware that DOS is not multitasking but as a user it doesn't make
sense to use a browser that I have to keep looking at the same page
while making a download during half an hour or so.
A sort of double tasking could be implemented inside Arachne that could
divide time (80% for downloading, and 20% for browsing or so, every second
or so ) and this would make mostly everybody including myself, happy about
using Arachne for a more than 5 minute download. Windows use similar
scheme for splitting time among tasks. Some cellular phones use it too.
It is called Time Division Multiplexing.
