You can use threads in DJGPP, though there are some limitations (but
main idea remains). Look, for example, in LWP or in PThreads
libraries. The latter one is the real Posix-compliant thread's library
and it is works with DJGPP. I wrote several fractal-related programs
that intensively use PThreads as a scheduling engine and found it very
comfortable.
PThreads site: ftp://ftp.cs.fsu.edu//pub/PART/PTHREADS
LWP is available at the usual DJGPP sites.
