Hello! I am interested in developing a multitasking program on 386 machine. I could not find a C compiler to support it. Is there anyone who can help me find it? Thank you. Daehee

If you're developing under DOS (I presume you are), there is a C compiler (Zortech, I believe) which contains a "beginthread"-like function. The run- time library contains its own scheduler, which ran pretty impressively. Also included (I was told by my colleague as he demo'd it to me) that a dynamic- linker is included also. The great thing is that it runs on any 8086 machine (a 386 is NOT required). Of course, the other two alternatives are to write your own scheduler, or to use OS/2 for your OS.

JPI's TopSpeed C also features this type of multitasking. In fact, it's implemented in a way which is compatible with OS/2 - they also produce an OS/2 product. Amongst other things, it has an _excellent_ optimiser and the ability to link .DLLs, even under MS-DOS. -- Fidonet: 3:632/348 SIGnet: 28:4100/1 Imex: 90:833/387 Data: +61-3-885-7864 Voice: +61-3-826-6711 Internet/ACSnet: david@csource.oz.au Uucp: ..!uunet!munnari!csource!david

Also I know the TopSpeed C Compiler (DOS Standard edition) by Jensen & Partners International also has a "multithread model" that can be used to write multitasking programs under MS-DOS in 8086.
