Greetings,
    I recently was asked to write the basic equivelant of a fork() command for
an MS/DOS programming project.  It is (of course) to be in assembly language,
and I have determined that INT 1Ch is my target.  Before I spend a week or so
determining how exactly to write the blasted thing, does anyone know of a
currently existing implementation of the fork() command under MS/DOS,
preferrably in a Turbo C compatible library, or in ASM Source?
 
    Many thanks for any help, and even any words of wisdom to assist me.
 
                                                         --  Morgan
