   Yes, that there is nothing that can schedule the relevant threads. In theory   
   one could try to hack a complete OS in your dos binary (threading support,   
   scheduler support etc), but that is not writing an application, that is   
   implementing a complete OS in your app, with the usual problems.   
      
   If you really must have that, there are four options, in decreasing order of   
   use/work ratio.   
   - choose a compiler and OS from this millenium.   
   - If you have BP7, try to redress your program as a "windows 3.x" program   
   using BPW, and see if that can somehow access threads. If so, you have a   
   small chance they are mapped to different CPUs.   
   - Ask on a FreeDOS list how to use multiple cores in 16-bits binaries.   
   - Implement a complete SMP threading library + scheudler in your binary.
