If you're using Windows merely as a task switcher, you're not really getting
much value out of it. DesqView is (and probably always will be) a better
solution if you're just running DOS applications.

I saw a screen for the proposed FileManager for Win 3.1. MS have placed the
directory tree and current directory side by side in the one window (like XTree
and others). I hope they will still provide the capability for multiple
directory windows to be open simultaneously.my
