Several people have written suggesting that I use DesqView/386 for my
multitasking work, rather than Windows or OS/2.  I have tried DV-386
in the past, and it is an excellent multitasker.

However, the reason I specifically mentioned Windows and OS/2 is that
I have a bunch of graphical programs I don't want to give up (Word for
Windows, PageMaker, etc.).  I'd like to be able to run the BBS in a
minimized window while editing a paper with Word, for example.  The
overhead involved in loading a separate copy of Windows in a DesqView
window makes this even slower than running Windows itself.

From the responses I've gotten so far, it seems the only choice that
gives me real multitasking, access to the apps I like to use, and
extra goodies like background mail processing seems to be OS/2.

So here's the big question:  Can I have an OS/2 BBS program -- say
Maximus -- invoke a DOS door game?  If this is possible, then Maximus
and Binkley under OS/2 would seem to have everything I need.

Does anyone know if this can be done?

Thanks to all who've written so far.  Keep those ideas coming!
