Jim, that´s like comparing apples with oranges. Minuet is an internet access client, that is an application, while Quarterdeck´s DESQview is a text mode based windowing and multitasking environment for DOS. You can compare DESQview with the DR-DOS TASKMGR. Other´s will know more about Minuet´s feature´s - I have no personal experience with it. Matthias PS. There is no "REX DOS", at least I have never heard of such a DOS. Did you mean Mark´s "RX-DOS"? It is designed to be reentrant, but not multitasking.
