If I read the description correctly, MUTEX spawns programs based
upon named semaphores. Is it a DOS program?

GETK is a DOS program that I wrote which is a text implementation
of the DOS CHOICE command. All keys are named, such as ALTX, K, &
PGUP, and can be set into a specified environment variable. No
errorlevels are equated to keys. It gives up time slices to OS/2,
DV, or Windows while it is waiting for a key or for the specified
timeout seconds to pass.
