looking for free simple task scheduler in c

I had one firmware project that used a simple for(;;) loop and a linked list of function pointers. Tasks can be added and removed from the linked list as required. Each task is written in a way that cannot block (good for state machine based tasks). The first task could be used to do housekeeping on the rest of the list. I don't have a template but it would not be hard to make...

Search for a package called CTASK. The last time I found it the file was ctask22d.zip. It has full public domain source code for a simple multi-tasking kernel in C and 8086 assembler. I used it on DR-DOS with MASM 6.0 and MSC 6.0 for several years. That application is still in the field.

Thanks all for your pointer/help. I finally get around with what I need. Basically I got a backend database to hold the task schedule info (e.g. what to run, when to run, recurrence, etc.) and I need the scheduler to read the database (at the start of any minute) and check for at that particular time are there any job to run (cron job type of thing), if the time in the record exactly matchs with the current local time then it will spin of a thread run the appropriate command. The hard part (may be for me only :-) is how to get the program knows at the time the clock is click over to the next minute so it will initiate the checking procedure. I got that resolved last night. The rest of the stuff are easy enough for me to continue.

Again, thank so much for all the help.
