yes and it supports CD-ROMs

exactly !

QEMM 9 works also great here .... :)
(QDPMI made some problems, but they mostly disappeared)
PS: I have found DesqView on one abandonware site Clerance mentioned.
It is _GREAT_ !!!!!
It does what drdos says its able to, but always crashes.
It multitasks GREAT !!!
I can upload it to an FTP server ... but attention I only found DV/386
(desqview+ old version of qemm) so this is a bit larger, but still fits
onto 1 disk.
PS: I also found Desqview/X
Which is a Xserver + tcp/ip for dos.
But it is HUGE (9 disks) and I haven't had the time to try it.
PPS: I also found PCTCP from FTPsoftware (the company which developed the
packetdriver standard we are all using)
But I haven't had time to test this eitehr :((( (its 4.5 MB)
