You can find 4DOS on SIMTEL in the following place (taken from SIMIBM.IDX): "PD1:","","4DOS301A.ZIP",1,335225,8,900603, "4DOS v3.01a, enhanced COMMAND.COM replacement" "PD1:","","4DTECH01.ZIP",1,8693,8,900517, "Official 4DOS technical notes #1 for 4DOS 3.0" "PD1:","","4EDIT10.ZIP",1,30350,8,900323, "4DOS full screen directory description editor" As for compatibility with DESQview, I run it under DESQview 2.26 on an 8086 processor all the time with no problems. The 4DOS docs say that it should run under DESQview fine, so I don't see why it shouldn't run under DV on a 386. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics, Inc. portuesi@sgi.com "every now and then things become clear" -- jane siberry
