Although this is a little "up in the air", take a look at the new API for MS-
DOS v5.0.  It has specific support for yielding time-slices (called idle-
loops).  Although DOS may not be out until next month, the API is available
and supported by Windows (right now).  The api is set up such that supporting
it does not force incompatibility with other OS's (or add-ons).
