Actually, opendos version 7.01 (or caldera dos depending on when you purchased
it) did have multitasking, and it worked fairly well. The problem was, setting
it up and getting it to run properly was a bear. I did finally accomplish it,
but it was a tough nut to crack, and I didn't use it long, due to other issues
with hardware, but it went far beyond msdos 5.0 task switching, and actually
allowed full-blown multitasking.
