How will your computer know which is the primary operating system, which system should it boot up to? I believe the program he is referring to is called System Commander. It allows you to install and control up to 150 operating systems on one computer. I've talked with techs in various computer shops and they all say it works great. I am writing this to you on my home computer which to this day is still operating on DOS 6.22, and I am using Arachne as my web browser. But unfortunately due to tax considerations and some other reasons, I will need to install a version of Windows in the near future. So I have already purchased System Commander. When the time comes for me to pollute this computer with WINDOZE 98, at least it will be installed as a completely separate operating system, only to be used on an as needed basis. That way, all of my DOS programs will continue to function daily, unimpeded by the resource hogging WINDOZE system.
