simtel.net

 SB> Also is this the Multitasking FREE MS-DOS hack?

No, it's not free (shareware)  not a multitasker, and not an operating system. 
the expiry feature in the shareware is harder to circumvent with each new 
version. all the hacks are broken.

it is however really handy if you're rting to set up a bunch of batch files to 
do some tricky things.

DRDOS 7/ personal netware will do multitasking for free. (well it's free in 
Australia, I didn't pay attention to any parts of the licence that don't apply 
here, there doesn't seem to be an expiry)  novell has dropped it from its 
website, but I found it on some mirror site.

dunno about that, back in the 90s people were using OS/2 or Desqview for that.
