Does anyone know how to get multiple DOS windows running in Windows 3.0?
I want two (or more) actual windows simultaneously on the screen, not just
two text mode sessions.  I've tried various pif settings, but can't get
it to work.  I can get two windows, but if I run something in the first
window and switch to the second window and try to type something, the
machine crashes.

I'm running on a Gateway 386/25 w/cache (Micronics motherboard) with
8 meg ram.

I really want to get this to work because up until now all I've found
Win3 good for is solataire and reversi.

Thanks,

Kevin Dietz
