Assuming the was a recent version of Double Dos, I'm convinced it's not for
me.  However I still have a need for Multitasking (and don't want to wait
for DOS 5.0).  I've tried Wendin's toolbox with little/no success.  So does
anyone have a suggestion about obtaining multitasking under DOS?  (Hence ruling
out XENIX/UNIX/etcIX).  I've seen an add for QNX by Quantum Software in
Ottawa, Canada.  Anybody have any experience with it?  What I'm looking for
is multitasking software that doesn't require MEGA-work on my part to make
it work with my applications.

Thanks for any information.
