I'm experimenting with some old DOS versions,
notably PC DOS, in VirtualBox.
I have a PC-DOS 2000 system with DesqView and DesqView/X working
fairly well -- no networking yet but I'm working on it.
Out of curiosity, because I am from time to time wet dreaming about
having some kind of graphical frontend to the DOS, but with ability to
run multiple DOS programs in parallel. Like one could run them in
Windows 3.x (and this sucked a bit, but otherwise made it possible to
run editor and something else and switch between them without quitting
and starting like mad).
So, could DesqView give me something like this? From all descriptions
I have read so far, it could not. But I am not sure. Yes, I should
have tried to check it by myself, but there is no time to follow every
dream.
