How hard would it be to add lightweight threads to GO32/DJGPP?
No, really; I'm serious. :-) A "DOS extender" is already sort of
replacing the OS, except for having to deal with the I/O subsystems,
so it seemed likely to me that it wouldn't be *too* major an undertaking.
After all, it's not like it would be trying to get DOS itself to under-
stand multiple execution threads, or switch between them.
Of course, it's all very well for me to sit here and say that, not being
a DOS guru. And don't say "use Linux;" that's not at all what I want. :-)
Ah well. Just another random thought....
