I do this all the time on a PC running Windows 95. Generally you don't want to have thinking on the opponent's time set anyway, so not having true multi-tasking for DOS programs is not an issue if one of the programs is DOS. Likewise, if one of the them is Windows, by giving up thinking on opponent's time you prevent the program generally from seizing control and not giving back the cpu for other programs to get cycles, which any good computer chess program should naturally do. :-) On April 24, 1998 at 13:59:04, William Dozier wrote: >Good Day everone: In response to the question, can you play two programs >on the same computer.
