.SH "MULTIMAX DIFFERENCES" The umax operating system does not assign process ids sequentially, so there is no "last pid" display. Process state names are: run, exec, wait, event, start, stop. Information about physical memory is displayed on the memory status line, but information about virtual memory is not available. WCPU is not displayed. Percent CPU is calculated ove the entire life of the process and is a measure of the percentage of the process's life time spent running. This is very different from the typical Unix measure of percent cpu, but is the best that can be done with the information available. Also, no attempt is made to determine if a process is currently "idle", thus the -I flag is assumed to always be true (idle processes are displayed). The multimax port is not thorough and not complete. It was done more as an exercise in porting top than as an effort to create something useful. Currently cpu state percentages are not calculated. The Multimax port was written by William LeFebvre.
