Abstract

A system and method for avoiding deadlock in a non-preemptive multi-tasking application program, wherein the application program operates in an operating system that provides a non-preemptive multi-tasking environment. All components of the application program that require resources from other components within the application program, and that will not yield to internal timeslicing within the application program, are placed in separate executables (i.e., application programs). Thus allowing maximum background processing and the avoidance of deadlock.
