Currently the onlyt other option I am aware of is the MS-DOS executive which is a duplicate of the front-end used in Windows 2.11. To run it edit system.ini where (near the top) there is a line 'shell=progman.exe'. Change this line to read 'shell=msdos.exe' and then when you run Windows next time you'll get the Exec. It doesn't have icons but it does use a lot less memory. Thats it, Dan.
