	I would like to write a program that runs processes
	in a 'time-sliced' fashion, but I've been unable to
	figure out how to get a steady stream of interrupts.
	Is there any way I can do this in software?  One idea
	I had was to use the 8253, but I couldn't figure out
	any way to generate interrupts from it.  Being
	able to do this would also allow things like programmable
	interval timers, interruptable system calls, etc.
	Please respond via email; I'll post a summary.

	ADVthanksANCE
