   The long answer   
      
   Anything is possible under TP. TP just creates a stream of assembler   
   instructions to execute, and if you labour hard enough you can accomplish a   
   lot. But since both TP and Dos hardly can do anything that modern systems   
   can, you will have to fill all the blanks yourself.   
      
   Of course that means you will have to write a SMP safe threadlibrary with a   
   SMP scheduler, and adapt the RTL to use that. That's where the problem lies.   
   Dos provides nothing. So effectively it would be like creating your own   
   realtime OS system with a minimal dos emulation to run your TP programs.   
      
   The short answer:   
      
   See if you can find thread support in an existing system that can run dos   
   binaries (e.g. Windows and Desqview X). Then you might be able to use that   
   scheduler   
      
   The ultra short answer:   
      
   start two dos binaries under Windows. Find some way to connect them together   
   via IPC or sockets.
