4DOS is indeed wonderful, although I wouldn't go so far (yet, anyway) 
so say that it eliminates the need for ANARKEY 3.0.  I heartily recommend 
BOTH programs (and really wish the 4DOS folks would get together with
Steve Calwas and combine the two into a new 4DOS version or something).

ANARKEY is specifically a keyboard enhancer, and the "MEGA" key is unmatched.
4DOS also lacks a built-in key redefinition mechanism (yes, I know about 
the fakes possible with *ANSI.SYS).

<4DOS works just fine in multiple WINDOWS 3.0 Windows (I am doing it just
<this minute).

Excellent product.  Right up there with ... NOSHARE  perhaps?
