Well, I really do need the multi-tasking features..
About the windows multi-tasking, the bad side is that it will
multi-task better Windows programs. Unfortunatly, you cant run more
then one DOS programs in most Windows 95 installs i've seen. Normally
when you leave the DOS window it will freeze until you get back to
it.. and even in installs where for some reason the DOS window
kept running in the background, you still couldnt do more then
1 DOS window at the time. If you had 2, then only the current
one would keep on working. I wander why is that? Maybe windows
only got Task Switching for DOS tasks, or it just takes too
many resources?
