Precisely: than Novell DOS 7 (even with update 15).
You can use their EMM386 (and its multitasking kernel),
insert a task when 3 DJGPP tasks are concurrently running, etc.
Yes, there is a DPMS server like Helix Cloaking.
The NWCDEX seems to have improved.
NWCache is inefficient on current HDs, but Smartdrive works anyway.
EMM386' XMS module sees only 64MB, but you can load HIMEM.SYS
from MS-DOS 7.x before loading EMM386.
