While I agree that OT can run without system task time, it is very

required. I am only talking about OS 9 here.
This is very interesting Jason. We still do some work in OS/9. I would
love to know what is required to get OT to work without SystemTask
time.
Is there a technote or example for reference? This would be very
interesting to know.
Just a quick clarification. While you may be able to write your code so
you can get everything you need done without system task time, OT does
rely on system task time to grow it's memory pools. If you run on Mac
OS 9 for a long time without yielding time by calling WaitNextEvent or
any of the other various methods, you can starve OT of system task time
and cut OT off from memory it may desperately need. A common operation
that can lead to this is saving a very large file to a network file
system.
