>DOS programs, even most TSRs, run in single task mode because there is no
Task Manager. There is NO reason why you couldn't have multiple DOS programs
running semi-simultaneously (semi is all even Linux can get) if you have a
simple task manager. As long as you are talking about programs that ALREADY
have their own memory allocated - like TSRs - they could run simultaneous
with the primary program running in main memory.
That Task Manager could be VERY simple and VERY small.
I would write it if I was sure no one would complain because they can't run
two Arachne windows at the same time.<g>

DR-DOS 7.03 has a task manager (multitasker) in name only. Memory allocation is
severely limited, I kept running out of memory with DOS Lynx386. That problem
was resolved by rebooting and not running the task mismanager.
Many years ago, in the days of Windows 3.0, there was a Software Carousel for
DOS. I never tried it nor saw it in action.
