www.jpsoft.com
simtel.net

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.
