- There is a public domain pre-emptive multi-tasker for MS-DOS based
- machines called CTASK (currently version 2.2). It should be available
- from some of the BBS's or can be purchased from the C User's Group for
- their $8.00 distribution cost. The bulk of this stuff is written in
- C and should port fairly well. The only assembler stuff has to do with
- I/O. I've used it & it works well, but have not yet ported it to the
- 68K family (although I have several VME cards that I'd eventaully like
- to try it on).
