     I just read a blurb in the latest issue of PC Magazine about a new
operating system called Wendin DOS. It is billing as a multi-user,
multi-tasking operating system for the 80286 and 80386 that is 100%
compatible with *all* exsisting MS-DOS programs and also breaks the
640K memory barrier. All for an un-heard of price of $99.00. Can this
be true ? Anyone else heard of or used this O/S ?  It seems too good to
be true but if it is, I think O/S 2 can kiss it good-bye.

     The blurb goes on to say that they also offer PC/VMS a VAX-like
operating system for the PC and PCNX, a Unix clone for the PC. Each of
these also sells for $99 and comes complete with source code. I'd be
suspicious if this were the April issue but it's only February. It sure
peaked my curiosity. BTW: Its listed under "Inside Track" in Vol 7 No 3
February 16, 1988 issue.
