Well, some sort of multitasking can really exist in dos. Windows is an example,
but I'm not sure whether it is possible to create a multitasker which will
run under all varieties of windows or will be compatible with many different
programs, real mode and those which run with an extender, etc.
Compatibility is the problem, imho, but even in plain dos with 16-bit programs
there could be problems, hardware access is one.
