Interestingly, Microsoft bought^H^H^H^H^H^H hired the chap who wrote
Wendin DOS. I wonder if there's a connection. Has anyone else here
used WendinDOS, that multi-tasking MS-DOS-like software - that also
could pretend to be VMS or UNIX - what allowed one to attach multiple
terminals to an 8088 PC? Also, does anyone remember playing with VMiX
(another multi-tasking, multi-process, program that one ran from
MS-DOS)?
