Taskmgr is just a silly parody on multitasking. You're right, is not the greatest multitasking system available. It's perhaps the poorest one. I didn't try Concurrent DOS or any other multi*.* DOS clone, but I've read much and closely about them, which leads me to this: They have NEVER been free. OpenDOS _is_ a free multitasking DOS. You can install it on a clean computer, and run two -or more- concurrent programs. Can't you?! >> >I don't care. I never do.

Again... we're talking about an operative system, and the external replacements or add-on's are not the topic here (I think). -- Rafa Gawenda, PGP: (1024/BD2D5E31) A2 89 82 BC 8A B3 B7 10 35 36 68 A9 28 8C 65 88
