1.SH "MULTIMAX DIFFERENCES"
2The umax operating system does not assign process ids sequentially, so
3there is no "last pid" display.  Process state names are: run, exec,
4wait, event, start, stop.  Information about physical memory is
5displayed on the memory status line, but information about virtual
6memory is not available.  WCPU is not displayed.  Percent CPU is
7calculated ove the entire life of the process and is a measure of the
8percentage of the process's life time spent running.  This is very
9different from the typical Unix measure of percent cpu, but is the
10best that can be done with the information available.  Also, no
11attempt is made to determine if a process is currently "idle", thus
12the -I flag is assumed to always be true (idle processes are displayed).

14The multimax port is not thorough and not complete.  It was done more
15as an exercise in porting top than as an effort to create something
16useful.  Currently cpu state percentages are not calculated.

18The Multimax port was written by William LeFebvre.
