OMNIVIEW Advertisement OMNIVIEW (formerly TASKVIEW) is a preemptive multitasker for DOS programs; this differentiates it from Microsoft Windows, Software Carousel and others which do not provide true multitasking. You CAN achieve true multitasking with Microsoft windows by running multiple Windows '286 applications inside of OMNIVEW. Unlike Quartedeck's DESQView, each OMNIVIEW process is a full screen application - this makes OMNIVIEW both smaller and faster; A very important consideration when running concurrent real time applications (such as high speed communication programs or industrial control systems) or when relying on memory hungry device drivers and TSRs. Any TopView/DESQView aware application will run as expected. In contrast to VM/386, OMNIVIEW does not utilize (nor impose the overhead of) the '386 virtual 8086 mode. Each process operates in real mode. The increasingly popular "dos extenders" may be fully utilized inside any OMNIVIEW partion, allowing multiple concurrent multi-megabyte applications. While OMNIVIEW is compatible with Quarterdeck's QEMM and other virtual control programs, we recommend Qualitas' 386^MAX ($49.95) to get the maximum benefit of OMNIVIEW on '386 systems; the professional version of this program ($100) will also load device drivers into high memory, maximizing the space available to run other programs. SysOps quilify for a 35% discount off OMNIVIEW's $79.95 retail price. OMNIVIEW's features include: -- As many as ten concurrently operating programs on a single machine. -- Runs on all PCs from 8088 to 80386 based systems. -- True multitasking with user specifieable time slice duration (127 levels) and relative process priorities (15 levels). -- Utilizes LIM 3.2, 4.0 and EEMS memory. -- TSR's loaded before OMNIVIEW can be accessed by all processes. -- TSR's loaded inside partitions act just as any other program, to remove them just kill the partition. -- Supports all standard video adapters in all modes. -- Loads in as little as 10K of conventional memory. -- INCREASES memory available to run DOS applications by over 80K on some systems. -- Keyboard macros and the ability to "cut and paste" among applications. -- Easy to use menu interface. -- Command line interface with a powerful collection of utility programs allows experienced users maximum flexibility. -- Free technical support and much more. The OMNIVIEW Application Programmer's Interface (OAPI), available for the asking, has supported C, ASM and Turbo Pascal programmers since 1986. All OAPI applications have the ability to: -- Create and eliminate sibling processes. -- Suspend, activate and control sibling processes. -- Send keystrokes to programs running in other partitions. -- Send and receive various message objects. -- Perform time sequenced, background events. -- Establish shared data areas. -- Create "invisible" customized user interfaces to integrated multitasking applications. -- and much more.
