}I am looking for the source (C or ASM) of a version of Turbo C's

}another program. It is essential that this function work in the
}COMPACT (or above) model! I have a version for the small and medium models,

I will be releasing SPAWNO v2.0 over the weekend.  While it won't include
source, it will work under Turbo C in all memory models except Huge and
include all eight of the spawn...() functions.  There will even be a
version that runs under MS C (given some limitations on use of malloc()
and friends).

I will make an announcement once it is available.
