: : : : : : The stuff object-oriented programming in pascal is not written anywhere. I've been searching for it for a long time. Anyone knows about it?
: : : : : : The feature with which you can make your program do SOME tasks separately (i.e make a clock timer running, and do a simple calculate at the same time)

: : : : : OOP is not the same as multitasking. OOP: The programmer divides his program in logical units, which contain everything for a specific task (= object class). Then the actual programming becomes just linking the objects together. For example: an address-book in OOP will consist of at least 2 object classes: 1 to maintain each address and 1 for the list of addresses.
: : : : : OOP is well-documented in Pascal, see the TObject type in the helpfiles, the TurboVision demos. Multitasking is a different story, because that's quite difficult to code in a DOS program.

: : : : So what I want is multitasking, right?
: : : : Could you tell me more about it?

: : so this multitasking infact doesn't process tasks simultaneously, but does it one by one just in a slice of time, such that we think it is parallel, is that right?
: :
: :
: Should be obvious, since 1 processor can only process 1 instruction at a time. For true parallel computing you need more than 1 processor.

yeah right, in the early time, I thought a processor could somehow "divide" itself and do manythings at the same time, but now I know it, thanks alot, Zibadian
