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

This lets you pass different command-line args to the app

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.

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)
