Under Linux, it's a standard system service.

Under Win2000, never tried but though I do tend to dis Microsoft
for poor quality I cannot believe that the only way to interrupt a
process is to reprogram the hardware timer and install your own
interrupt handler.

If you have to do all that then why not just use DOS?

Isn't it possible for one process to interrupt another?
Can this second process go into some non CPU-invasive loop?
