[BC] any DOS fanatics out there?

[DANA PUOPOLO]

Novell DOS 7 (should have been DR-DOS7) was a multitasking DOS as well, but it
was deliberately made buggy (they got paid off by Microsoft to kill it).

Of course, many of us multitasked with DOS by using Deskview and QEMM. My BBS
ran it and it worked great. I could have 9 windoes open at the same time and
no problem.
