    I really don't much like Windows, but it came bundled on my
computer when I bought it.  Actually I rather liked MS-DOS, although
its lack of multitasking was something of a limitation.  I am
considering looking into DR-DOS, and I see that it can be bought from
Lineo.  I am not an expert in these things.  Does anyone know if it is
possible for DR-DOS and Windows to co-exist on one machine, and if so
if it is possible to specify which one wants to boot up?  (And if so,
how does one do that?)  To be honest, about all I really use Windows
for as such is to run a web browser and a basic(!) word processor.  For
email (which I use heavily) I simply run a terminal emulator to dial
into a unix shell account.

    Thanks very much.
