If you're developing under DOS (I presume you are), there is a C compiler
(Zortech, I believe) which contains a "beginthread"-like function.  The run-
time library contains its own scheduler, which ran pretty impressively.  Also
included (I was told by my colleague as he demo'd it to me) that a dynamic-
linker is included also.

The great thing is that it runs on any 8086 machine (a 386 is NOT required).
Of course, the other two alternatives are to write your own scheduler, or
to use OS/2 for your OS.
