Don't think I ever ran DOS 4, and at some point during DOS 5, bought a copy
of DESQView.  I looked at a few third-party task-switchers; my favourite
was FastFlip.  I even tried to register, but the author was uncontactable.
When I enquired - in a local UK echo, I think - about the shareware
multitasker VMIX, I was told it was stable enough to run a BBS, "but you
wouldn't like it."

Quite the squirrel  :-)
