Hi all,

   I'm developing a multitasking utility for DOS. Its purpose is to
provide preemptive multitasking for DOS programs. It focuses on
simplicity and compatibility. That is, it doesn't introduce any new API
buit rather is intended to run as many different DOS programs as
possible. Of course, it runs DOS programs in V86 mode, so not all the
programs could be run.

   On the current stage the basic version works OK on DOS session level
(in a manner of Windows or OS/2 DOS sessions). I'm not sure as to where
to take it from here and that's where I need your help. If you think
you may need a simple and efficient multitasking solution for DOS, I
would like to know it. As I see it, its main use may be desktop
multitasker or embedded DOS systems; certainly I would like to know
about any other possible use.

   It may not be appropriate to have long threads in respective NGs, so
if you don't feel that it may be an interesting NG discussion, please
send me your comments, wishes, opinions, questions etc. to:
