I just finished the initial writing (and ready to go into testing and
debugging) of a multitasking program for VM/CMS.  It is written in
assembler (and will be available when ready).  But I challenge anyone
to rewrite in C (or any HLL of their choice).  I will be writing an
interface to use it from C programs, and to a limited extent from Rexx.
