As would I, and I believe everything mentioned in the email would be perfect for a 32-bit dos. I believe it can be done, and the whole give each program it's own virtual 86 machine is one I've wondered about for quite sometime. It shouldn't be difficult, and actually, I read somewhere that the initial version of windows did this, but of course, I can't confirm that, since the only version of windows 1.0 I ever had was on an xt where such a scheme wouldn't have worked anyhow, not to mention, I haven't a clue where that machine wound up at. :) Otherwise, each program being spawned in it's own virtual 86 machine, and leaving things in protected mode as much as possible makes perfect sense to me, and it was what I'd figured would happen to dos eventually, but it never did. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
