- The simplest and cheapest solution is to simply buy some more 386 boxes and
- put windows on them with your software. Then buy a copy of JSB Multiview for
- Windows and have each of these users do their normal windows thing while also
- having access to their favorite UNIX app in one or more windows on the dos
- box. Works great. The VP.ix thing was an abomination from day one - chuck it.
