	I recently posted a request for information on softwarer for
switching between application/ multitasking on 286 and 386 PCs.  The 
current forerunners are :
	Desqview 386 (+ QEMM 386 ?)
	Windows 3.0
	VM/386
and
	Software Carousel for 286.
Can anyone who has used these software please comment on the ease of 
use, hardware requirement, compatibility with a network drive (PCNFS)
and speed.   Windowing capabilities are not critical but are nice to
have.

Thanks alot.
