But that isn't running multitasking under DOS; it's Winblows.

So what? you say. Winblows is OK, and other multitasking OSes (OS\2, *NIX,
etc.) are better than MS-DOG anyway.

But, I spend 95% of my computing time in DOG. I have so for a long time. I
have an extensive collection of software for MS-DOG. I'm used to DOG, and I
don't want to have to find a whole bunch of matching software for my new
OS.

Yeah, I know these are weak arguments, but trying to make a DOS Multitasking
Environment would be fun, wouldn't it? :)
