VMiX 386 SHAREWARE Copyright (c) 1985-1990 by ComSoft ($59.00)
... Multiuser
... Multitasker
... Multiterminal
Welcome to VMiX 386 multitasker and multiuser. VMiX 386 differs from the
old VMiX 286 by the added capability to operate in protected mode, with
80386 based personal computers.
The user interface is essentially the same, regardless of the processor
detected in your PC or AT (8088, 8086, 80286, or 80386/486). With the 386,
each new task receives its own 640Kb memory partition by mapping extended
memory, in virtual 8086 mode. This frees VMiX from having to multitask
only in conventional memory or swap tasks back and forth from extended
memory. VMiX can now handle applications that write directly to the screen
by virtualizing the video in 386 mode. We hope that you will continue to
use VMiX as it evolves into the 90s.
We assume that you do not wish to go through a lot of documentation before
starting to use VMiX, so we have included the file VMiX.DOC as a quick
start-up guide. An on-line manual is included as MANUAL.DOC, however the
printed manual will usually be more complete.
