I've uploaded the following file to Simtel20: pd1:<msdos.sysutl>VMIX151ARC Multitask/multiuser environment for MSDOS VMiX is a multitasking and multiuser environment for IBM PC's and (PC, XT, AT, 386AT) compatibles. VMiX is not for the IBM PS/2's. Version 1.51 upgrades 'vw.exe', a pull-down menu utility that adds ease of use to the VMiX shell. The environment has a slight UNIX flavor in the implementation of the user control shell and multitasking. The VMiX command shell offers built-in help, or at the option of the user, the use of pull-down menus. VMiX multitasks at the PC console (up to 4 windows) and/or serially connected modem, PC or dumb terminal(s). VMiX can task switch applications from the low 640K of conventional memory to extended 80286/386 high memory. Applications that do not write directly to the video, like DBASE, TURBO PASCAL, PROCOMM, WSTAR, WORDPERFECT, OPUS BBS, or BASIC will display correctly at a terminal. VMiX co-resides with DOS 2.1 through 3.3 The VMiX 'exec' command will pass any user desired command to the DOS control shell(s) 'command.com'. The VMiX shell can also be configured to look exactly like a DOS shell, in which case the 'exec' command becomes superfluous. Les
