I'm running some very time-intensive number-crunching programs,
and I need to know how to give them high execution priority.  On
UNIX, you can give background jobs high priority -- at least, when
the machine is idle (even if the screen saver turns on), the job
uses most of the processor time.  On OS/2, it seems that is not the
case (at least as things are set up by default).

Does anyone know how I can make sure my program gets lots of processor
time even when lockup has turned on (i.e., when I am running the program
over night)?
