I have a program (UUPC) which makes a lousy application to run an
Windows DOS window because it has an idle spin loop which soaks up a lot
more CPU than it needs to.  

Is there a way for a non-Windows (Turbo C) application to gracefully surrender
it's time slice?  (I can switch to MS C 6.0, but do not have an SDK).

Likewise, is there a way for a non-Windows application to notify Windows
that the application is entering a critical path and doesn't want to
lose its time slice?
