Good luck with the shows :)
Can anybody tell me if Driver could run two programs at once, both two
progs onscreen at once, running.. and also, with one task able to be
not drawn but running..
You could have multiple programs resident, but only one would be able
to get access to the screen at a time. Not sure if the others got any
CPU time even - although there may have been tricks you could pull with
interrupts. But it's a long time since I did any DRiVER programming...
FWIW, SamMines (eventually on Fred 57) was in fact originally going to
be a driver application, although for various reasons I ended up making
it stand-alone (and coding half a WIMP system in the process).
