Hi, there!  After two years of isolation, I have no idea of what are
available in the PC world.  I'd like to know, in specific, how (if
possible) can a 386-AT multitask?

I saw the advertisements of Coherent and Desqview, so do these packages
really support multitasking (either the DOS or Unix environment)?
Also, can I run X on top of Coherent?

Please send your responses to me via email, I may summarize if I can
collect enough quality information.  Thanks in advance!
