However, Warp OS/2 does this quite well. I use it almost everyday to run a dos program requiring a boot disk in normal DOS due to special mem. configs, as well as with several of my games. Works like a charm. In addition, I run AOL in a seperate dos box to maintain communications integrety, while running Excel in another, seperate virtual dos machine, the aformentioned DOS program, and a native graphing program. All preemtively. Win95 cannot do this. For some reason 'preemtively' doesn't look right. Perhaps I should be running a keyboard monitor/spell checker too ;). Scott
