From the soon to be posted FAQs...

*** Subject: S23.  Will NeXTSTEP 486 be able to run Microsoft DOS and  
Windows programs?

Yes. NeXTSTEP 486 will support a DOS and Windows compatibility package.  
This
software will allow DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 programs to run within a  
NeXTSTEP
window. Support will include DOS "Protected" mode and Windows 3.1  
"Standard"
mode (Win-16). Support for Win-32 applications is planned for the second  
half
of 1993.
