However, my main goal was to learn programming in OS/2, so I did not care about packaging the thing into something installable by somebody else. It wasn't that trivial, though! You can't replace the tasking package in a straightforward manner by OS/2 threads, owing to the fundamental difference between a switch-on-request and a switch-anytime dispatcher. So I kept the tasking package, only making sure that 'waits' did not result in endless loops. If anyone could tell me how I can legally (and technically) share this code, I'd be happy to do so.
