I'm interested in a program that will allow me to keep two or more programs in memory at the same time and allow me to switch from one to the other from the mouse or keyboard. (No multi-tasking necessary.) The names "Juggler" and "K-switcher" come to mind, but I can't find any information on them. There is also the hardware/software product "Switch-Back". Any information, experiences, or alternate suggestions would be appreciated. Calvin Yockey cjy@hcx.uucp or cjy@hcx.uark.edu

But where do you get these- I've seen an ad for Switchback but that's it! Can any of you out there shed some light on prices and where to order any of these? Is there any one out there that is done a 1-on-1 comparison that s/he can tell us about? N-quiring minds wanna know!

I have used Revolver for quite a while. It is very stable and quite good. I only wish it could keep proper track of time in various partitions. I do recommend it. You can have different desktops and accessories in different partitions, and you need not reboot to change acc's or desktops. ------------------------------------------------------- Stan Liebowitz Department of Econ/Business North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC 27607 try liebo@csclea.ncsu.edu it seems to work, more than I can say for
