Exec is the object-oriented multi-tasking kernel of AmigaOS.

It enables pre-emptive multitasking in as little as 256k of memory (as supplied with the first Amiga 1000s).

Exec provides functionality for multi-tasking, memory allocation, interrupt handling and handling of dynamic shared libraries.

'Exec's heavy reliance on inheritance is what makes it so compact.'
