Hi! I want to buy myself a 80386SX - System the next time. To use some of the features of 386 - Systems I am looking for DOS - Extension Software (I can't switch to UNIX, because I do a lot of development for DOS). Most people I asked said, the standard is MS - Windows 386. Are there other programs with similar/better features? The system configuration will be: 80386SX with 1MB memory and 40MB Harddisk and VGA Color - graphics. Please send me mail, I will post a summary.

I use Deskview/386 and run Window applications in a deskview window.
Deskview is cool for most other non-windows type programs and you can
do cool things like format a disk while hooked up on the modem while
printing something from another program. I suggest a minimum of two
megs o' mem and more if possible. The memory manager, qemm.sys, is
very good. It remaps ROM's to RAM, reclaims unused memory if you're
using graphics cards lower than EGA, and you can load most TSR's in
"high memory". So, my 386 with all mouse resident programs, and
other resident stuff, I still have 590K of conventional memory to use.
You might want to take a look. They also have development kits to
make Deskview specific programs.
