Does anyone know of software that does some minimal foreground/background control? I have a BasicTime BTurbo 386 (Compaq MS-DOS v3.3) which is used as a plotter server node on an Ethernet using PC-NFS. It is also used for s ome application development. Right now anyone requiring plot service has to interrupt whoever is using the system to run a plot dump program. I would like to have the dump program sleep "in the background", waking up periodically to check for work requests. Any suggestions? Thanks. Tony Rick tonyr@tekadg.adg.tek.com
