Detail: This breaks the equivalence between tasks and AMB slots, allowing many threads of execution to share the same AMB slot, where an application's heap is usually located. In API terms, it is presented as an extension to Wimp_StartTask, see Docs/Multithreading for more information. It is the caller's responsibility to create a new stack chunk for the new thread if required. Note that BASIC's variable storage model is fundamentally unsuited for multithreading. Admin: This was developed in 2001 and was not committed at the time due to lack of testing and peer review. It is now being added as a branch from a contemporary trunk Wimp. Hopefully somebody will be interested enough to merge the branch into a recent version! Version 4.66, 4.77.2.1. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_66-4_77_2_1'
