AMX System Configuration
Medium Model
Tasks can be either Large or Medium. If your task is Medium model, check this box.
Otherwise, leave this box unchecked.
If you declare the task to be Medium, the Builder will allocate the task's stack in a
segment which is part of group DGROUP so that DS = SS = DGROUP when the task
executes.
Task Message Queues (Mailboxes)
AMX allows creation of a task with a set of four private message queues (mailboxes) on
which the task can receive AMX messages. To declare a task of this type, check th is box
and fill in the required queue depths for the task's private message queues. Otherwise
leave the box unchecked.
Queue Depths
These four parameters define the maximum number of message envelopes which can
reside in each of the task's four private message queues. Queue 0 is the highest priority
queue; queue 3 is the lowest priority.
Depths may range from 0 to 32767. The maximum depth of a queue does not affect
AMX memory requirements. If a particular message queue is to be unused, set its depth
to zero. At least one message queue depth must be non-zero if the task is to be defined as
requiring message queues.
