The whole multitasking (khm... ;-) ) kernel I wrote can be surrounded with
#ifdef MSDOS and someone can try write simple adjustment to OS/2 built-in
multitasking.

Anyway you almost convinced me to install OS/2 ;)
Last night wasn't enough to write loopback interface. I'm trying to make

And helpful... ;))))
