Inst. of Tech., Dept. of Chemistry Distribution: comp Date: 7 Jun 91 12:17:40 Lines: 35 Which windowing system will give me the most bang for the buck on a 286 with 4 MB of XMS configured memory? The QuaterDeck people tell me that DV will not use the extra memory. Will it, or will MS Windows 3.0. I also would like to run an alternate shell (MKS ksh.exe) versus the default command.com. What is the best system. Basically what I would like to do is have three windows. Jove (Emacs like editor) MKS shell Kermit to a Unix box (2400 baud) Looking for Advice.
