I recently picked up the November issue of UnixWorld, and was pleasantly
surprised by the optimistic and upbeat review of NextStep 3.0.  It is in the
"Product of the Month" column even!  Nice change from the general NeXT-had-
some-good-ideas-too-bad-they're-doomed fare I'm used to seeing.

One thing in the article did catch me by surprise though.  In the first 
column, fourth paragraph, in reference to NeXTStep486 it states;

"Next [They don't seem to like the caps in NeXT.  Oh, well.] also says that
the version will let users run multiple Microsoft Windows and DOS sessions
inside Nextstep windows."

Now the last time I saw the FAQ relating to NeXTStep486, it said that there
wouldn't be any support for for DOS/Windows initially, something I always
viewed as being a potentially fatal flaw.  So did UnixWorld mess up, or WILL 
it be possible to run DOS/Windows?
