DEPRECATED - the samples directory is now part of the BOINC tree
David 7 April 2006
- extended upper_case so that it draws graphics
(text, image, bouncing ball)
NOTE: to get this to work, you have to put in your build dir:
- file called "logo.jpg" (the image)
- Helvetica.txf
- a file called "in" (any old text)
- added text functions to library

It works now, more or less, on Windows.
- wrapper no longer copies input/output files.
You must use the <copy_file/> attribute
in the file reference instead.

(Windows). Doesn't work yet.

- wrapper: pass wrapper's command-line args to application,
after those in the job file (if any).
This lets you pass different command-line args to the app
for different workunits,
without creating a new app version per workunit.
NOTE: actually, I don't think this is necessary;
the job file can be part of the workunit, not part of the app version.

- multi_thread: suspend/resume didn't work in the Unix implementation.
REMINDER TO SELF: you can't suspend or resume pthreads - period.
So I changed things so that in the Unix implementation,
we fork a second process, in which the threads run.
The first process handles suspend/resume messages
by signaling the 2nd process.
The 2nd process generates system messages (frac done, CPU time)

1) each task can include a <weight> (double, default=1).
The task's contribution to total fraction done is
proportional to the weight.
2) each task can include a <checkpoint_filename> (string)
This names a checkpoint file used by the app.
If its mod time changes, we'll assume a checkpoint
has been done and notify the client.
