- Not quite correct. Deskview will run MS Windows in a deskview window
- and you can run a windows program under Windows in deskview. But that
- is not the same as running a windows app under deskview without windows.
- OS2 however will run windows apps without windows because the windows
- kernal is built into OS2. However I am not sure I would recommend OS2 for
- a 386SX-16 (but then again I've never tried it).
