When you try to create a thread, your program terminates and writes a

While this absolutely does make sense, one could think about alternatives.
AFAIK, (at least for some archs) there is a variant of the pthread
(="POSIX thread") library, that internally does "user-land
multithreading". IIRC, the original POSIX definition was done with
exactly this in mind and, regarding Linux, the original Linux
implementations (aka "Linux Threads") was not fully compatible with
POSIX. Only some years ago, the Linux changed it's way of Kernel-based
thread handling to the POSIX compatible "NPTL" implementation.
Thus it should be possible to link fpc projects to a user-land thread
enabled version of pthreadlib and allow for working with TThread in DOS.
Do you mean DOS as a (16 bit) OS, or as a DOS-Box (terminal)?
I doubt that a DOS OS supports threading at all (scheduling...). What's
a thread worth when it never executes?
