Oh I remember that I think. It used to be a free download, and you could 
kind of multi task with it (there was a task manager IIRC).

Also I got Windows 3.11 working on top of it at one point after jumping 
through a few hoops.

Hmm, my memory is kicking into action as I write this (this must have 
been nearly 8-9  years ago now, and around the time I first experimented 
with Linux) so I might be thinking of DR Dos though. Is that the same 
thing?
