[net.micro] Concurrent PC-DOS

Does anyone out in the net land know anything on Concurrent PC-DOS?
Some tell me it is out, some tell me it is not.  Who is right?

I am trying to gather some info re: programs/o.s's  etc that would allow 
me to run more than one program cocurrently and be able to switch between
them easily.  If you have any info on these please send me e-mail.  I will
summarize to the net if there is sufficient interest.

I have looked at IBM's Top View and Hammer's E-Z-DOS-IT.  E-Z-DOS-IT is
a nice little (8k) program which allows you to run 8 programs cocurrently
and be able to switch between them by typing: ctrl-Alt-number, number=1-8. 
It does not have any windowing capability.
IBMs Top View is big(200k or so if I am not mistaken) has very nice 
windowing capability and allows you to move data from one window to another.

I only got a demo of these for about 15 minutes at a store.  Has anyone
used them?  Are they any good?  What are the gotchas?

Does any of them work on AT&T 6300?
