I use software from Visionware running under MSDOS and Microsoft
windows called Xvision. It only needs 640K to run in, although you
get much better performance if you have extra memory. Up to 9
concurrent windows.

Visionware can be reached at P.O Box 3991 Minneapolis MN 55405 (612)377-3627
Sorry, I cant tell you how much it costs.
