Your understanding is at fault here. I am no fan of Microsoft, but I have
experienced almost no problems running Dos or Win3 applications. Windowed
Dos sessions are jerky. But I am successfully able to run Pc/Focus ( a real
memory hog) simultaneously with Access 2 (another memory hog) and venturer
Publisher 3 (Gem), all on a 32meg Pentium 90. Yes, it's not real quick, but
it's real stable - far more than Os/2 ever was for me.
