PowerDOS is a GEMDOS extension for preemptive multitasking.
For more information, see the PowerDOS Programmer's Manual.
New modes for Pexec provide multitasking and threads support:
| mode | Meaning |
| 0x10 | Like mode 0, except that the parent continues to operate concurrently with the newly created child task. |
| 0x16 | Like mode 6, except that the parent continues to operate concurrently with the newly created child task. |
| 0x17 | Execute a code fragment that is within the text segment of the calling process. |
| 0x18 | Like mode 0x17, except that it allows a number of INTs to be placed on the stack of the new task. |
PowerDOS adds the function Flock and the cookie _FLK conforming to the specification for GEMDOS File Sharing & Record Locking.
