I assume you are referring to the June '92 issue of CL... I just read that
article again and I was unable to find where it said that CB had the best
DOS extender...

Also, that article had a few errors in it.  I have corresponded with the
author via email (msbaker@astute.com -- found this in the article) and sent
him a free copy of FlashTek's X-32VM, but of course he hasn't written any 
articles since then that I am aware of...

Of possible interest to some -- DOSX (previous version of X-32VM from
Zortech) supported DPMI before Pharlap did.  The article said DOSX did not
support DPMI and that Pharlap DPMI was out before anyone else.  Also, the 
article said that Flash Graphics was not supported, this was only true in 
some early beta releases of Flash Graphics.
