[comp.sources.wanted] Multitasking

davejag@wybbs.UUCP (Dave Jaglowski) (12/23/87)

Great! Do I really want to wait for a system incompatible with everything out,
that will probably rely heavily on IBM's Bus (SO I can pay outrageous prices),
and that is NEVER going to come out! Bah Humbug (Ohh I'm gonna get it!)
 
My request still stands. Anybody who know of a Multi-Tasker that will really
work (Its got to be commercial, I can't find any PD that work). This is my
current setup (I wish..... I wish.... Model 80 for free please!.....)
 
IBM XT Chassis.
NEC V20 a/8Mhz
640K DOS Ram
128K ram (HELP! No Expanded or Extended memory driver!)
2 5 1/4" floppies
1 20Meg Seagate
 
I would especially appreciate any info on DESQview. How well it works,m etc...
 
PS. Anybody who can reference me to a print spooler that will use the 128K. HELP

  I'd like to know if there are any multitasking programs that I can run 
on a VMS machine.  I have to use a VT102 (yeah, make all the jokes you 
want) at work, and I have to use VMS.  It's really frustrating, having to 
quit whatever I'm doing to go and read mail or work on another document 
in the middle of another document.  I know of various multitaskers that 
run on Unix machines with a remote MS-DOS machine, but I need to run this 
all in VMS, and through a VT102.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
