Ok just about every developer knows about background processes. Under
any *NIX they are pretty easy to create. Under Windows NT (including
2000/XP) there exist tons of tutorials that explain how to create
them. 

My question is does anyone know about creating such processes under
Windows9x? I would rather not have to go to creating a VxD. 

Essentially I am creating a number cruncher which has just about no
output (problems/results are in files) and require no input from the
user. Right now I have a console application that can be killed using
<CTRL-C> or <CTRL-BREAK> at which point it saves where it was and
performs a graceful shutdown. Upon starting back up it reads the
checkpoint file and starts back where it left off.

Any help would be appreciated.
