Anyone who wants to do multitasking on an AT or '386 within an
MS-DOS environment should forget MS-Windows.  I've successfully
used DESQview to do this for the past two years.  You can adjust
background and foreground time slicing to your taste.  There is
little degredation with two applications running.  And, best of
all, DESQview doesn't give a hoot if your software is "well behaved"
or not.

Frankly, with all the constraints that MS-Windows places on
would-be users, I'm surprised that anyone has the patience to stick
with it---especially when it doesn't even do the job right!
