Regarding Task Manager 2.2.1
The Task Manager is a C source code package for creating and managing
tasks--separate execution threads that run nonpreemptively in the background.
Tasks should periodically call a Task Manager yielding routine to allow other
tasks to run. Tasks are ideal for lengthy processes that you would like to run
in the background, since the task runs in a separate execution thread from your
event loop.
