ooohh... nasty... this is like programming for windows as to programming
for os/2... that is you have to write each thread to explicity yield to get
switch tween tasks... nasty nasty nasty.....  let the OS (or dos extender)
take care of that....  


heh


actually... what i'd like to see is threaded support for the DESQview
envrionment.... DV already supports preemptive multi threading in regular
DOS programs... cours.. I don't know how reentrant most of the lib*.a files
are... heh... and I'm pretty sure that most of go32 is non reentrant
(mainly based on the fact that it's using borland libraries which tend to
be... "well.. they may be reentrant.. you tell us"...)
