   I've created sub-tasks with no problem using Lattice by calling the
CreateTask routine in Amiga.lib.  For those who can't link with Amiga.lib,
the C source is in our RK manual Vol 2, A/W's RK exec manual.

   There certainly are people here who have started tasks, but most
of us use Lattice or Greenhill's.  If you can't create a task with
Manx, call Manx.  If you're not talking about sub-tasks, but rather
starting a whole program as a Task, it should be possible as long
as the program does not use AmigaDOS in any way or access any disk
resident libraries.  It would also have to have either no startup
code, or special startup code, not the normal startup which
uses AmigaDOS and expects things passed to it by DOS or WB.
