[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Multitasking in MSDOS

sanjay@temvax.UUCP (Sanjay Shinde) (03/24/90)

I working on a software project of being able to create multiple threads
of execution within the MSDOS environment.

The code is being written in C and I use setjmp and longjmp to switch 
between threads.

I am now looking to develop a simple user interface in which I could
intercept a running process( without killing it) , probably put it
in the background while control is returned to DOS or restart another
process while one is already running.

Is this possible? May be to some extent.  If anyone out there has done
any work in this area, a response will be appreciated.
