Well, if you have the SWAG collection, you can find a simple multitasker
that's run under plain dos and it was written in pascal.
The is source is free.

If you wanna to make Arachne multitasker/multithrtead prog you must
change from Borland C++ to DJGPP, and Arachne must make contain
a lot of os-like services, because bios and dos services can not be used.

Under plain dos you can use small progs as tsr's.
Ralf Brown developed a way you can have 255 tsr on one machine
in the same time and it will be compatible on all machines.
