I'm considering the use of a multiuser MS-DOS compatible
operating system for a 386 platform as an alternative to
Unix and I would appreciate any and all opinions/experience
with them.

The application which would run on this beastie is a Clipper
database program with at most 4 users.  The tasks involved are
primarily light data entry and report generation and is not
very CPU intensive.

I read a comparison article on some of these OS's and PC-MOS
seems to be the best one, but it still had some minor glitches.

BTW, recommendation of multiport i/o cards (Digiboard...)
would be nice also.

As they say in Japan:
			Sanks alot
