I have tried Unix Windows. It's pretty flakey. On program I have tried that I
like is a dos program but with the right pif file it should work great under
windows. It's called mutex102.zip. It is shareware and lets you open 2 windows
up under the eval copy. Under the registered copy lets you open up 32 windows,
The only fault I have found with it is the lack of file transfer protocols.
Maybe I didnt have UW setup right. The docs were kinda flakey.
