I am pretty sure that shortly after the announcement of Simul-Task
Locus Computing (the folks that wrote the software) stated a
future direction to produce a pure software version of Simul-Task
called something-Merge. No stated availability dates or implementation
specifics other than "software only". Without some of the 6300 PLUS
hardware, DOS task switching could be pretty slow. Also, they would
need to pick a version of UNIX for PCs and contract for source or
modifications to support/integrate their product. Doesn't sound
trivial as you dig into the job. To get the final word,
go to Locus.
