One of the big problems is that you have to store the icon info and
other info somewhere. You can't store them inside the dos programme
so you have to store them somewhere else. My guess is that MS is
consciously avoiding this problem to help the migration to windows
NT. To me thta would be a BIG drawcard - having only a system manager
or whatever that does the lot.
