Hello World, I'm looking for a program allowing an IBM PC/XT with 512kb of RAM to multitask with two programs running in parrallel,preffarably having prioratising facilities.I already have a VMIX 286 OS & have been unsuccessful in implementing my the Spawn facility on the VMIX 286 .I would be ever so grateful if anyone can solve this spawning problem or provide a ready made package/ facility to enable multitasking on such a micro. Many Thanks, In anticipation, Will Low.
