[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Favorite MS-DOS multitasker?

fritchie@acc.stolaf.edu (Scott Fritchie) (02/25/91)

I'm looking for suggestions on MS-DOS multitasking packages.  The
environment I'll be using it in is:
	* 386 clones (mostly Compaq and Telex)
	* Novell 386 (v.3.10 rev A)
	* Thomas-Conrad token ring interface cards (TC4035)

I've been hacking on Win3 for quite a while now, but I cannot get it to
run in 386 enhanced mode and use the network.  [See posting to
comp.windows.ms for details on the fun I've been having with Windows &
Novell 386.]  Rather than buy a second machine, I'd prefer to multitask.

I don't need nifty graphics stuff.  I don't need windows, graphical or
character based.  Just dependable MS-DOS multitasking with a (Novell)
network.  You know, something that Microsoft should have given the IBM PC
world years ago.  :-|  [I guess I'm especially curious about Desqview and
VM/386.]

Any references y'all could spare would be appreciated!

Sell the 386 box, buy a Sun Sparcstation SLC, and get
multitasking for free!
