I use System Commander everyday, I'm a localization/internationalization
Engineer and I have to have 6-10 different language versions on my machine.
Its somewhat problemmatic dealing with Win95 because of the common Program
Files directory but System Commander is a god send. I've set my machine up
this way

DOS 6.22 English/Japanese/Chinese on Primary partition on HD0
Win3.1 (All versions) installed on Jaz Drive, Win31.ENG, Win31.JPN etc...
Win95 English, Japanese, Chinese(S/T), Korean and several european versions
on Primary partition on HD0.
Windows NT 4 on Extended partition on HD1

I seem to remember that installing Win95 and OS/2 created some problems, I
belive they are outlined in the System Commander documentation. I haven't
used OS/2 since I upgraded to Warp Connect.
