MultiThread programming for DOS.

Does anyone know any libs or methods to implement multithread under DOS using C/C++?

  • The easiest way to simulate multi-threading in DOS is to break down you program into small execution chunks, and then intercept the time interrupt to execute a piece of your program.

    Obviously, this is more complex than having a thread, but if you think about it, it can be used to solve most 'concurrency' requirements.

    Another way is to create a TSR (terminate and stay resident) program, not always practical for small problems because of the interprocess communication issues.

    I do not know of any Thread library in DOS, but would very much like to know about it, if one exists....

    Hope this helps
