[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] multitasking

hi,

i've pulled the files multask.arc and pc2time.arc over from simtel20,
and am having trouble getting them to do what i want.  multask.arc
complains that i have the wrong version of dos (i'm running 2.11 on a
toshiba 1100+), while pc2time seems to start up two msdos's all right,
but gives no cpu cycles to the background task.  pc2time came with no
documentation, so it's possible that there are ways to have both tasks
running at the same time by giving it the appropriate command line
args. 

my questions are, 

1) does anyone know how to get multask to work?

2) does anyone know a) how to get pc2time to give cycles to the
background task, or b) how to get in touch with the author, or c)
where i can find documentation.

thanks a lot,

-geo
