Well, I already have the registered copy of 6.01a!

Or running *his* brain into that brick wall for you!

I'd guess you could call it a "Poor Man's" Deskview or Quartedeck.  

I can swap between about 8 different loaded DOS programs.  They 
don't run in the background, but when I go back to a particular 
program, I'm right back to where I left it.  I think they had 
another version that allowed those backbround programs to continue 
to run...  I've tried quite a few different ways to Google it, but 
never found the program or the company that marketed it.  :(  

Anyhow, the best thing about it is it's cut and paste feature.  I 
find it a lot easier than what can be done in WIN.  It works with 
any DOS screen.  Pating graphics doesn't always work well, though, 
but it usually comes close.
