Hallo Eugene,
RP>>> Not exactly 4Dos, but I use it and 4OS2 as well.
CM>> So you run OS/2? Why?
ESE>         I  think  Richard  is  right!  OS/2  have a comfortable
ESE> user's interface and stable operating.  This the best choice
ESE> _for_work_ with several  tasks  (i.e.  communication  and
ESE> supervising a network).
That gives me a idea. I use a differnt machine for differnt tasks. :)
ESE> The OS/2's VDMs is pretty ajustable : I have
ESE> some tasks under 4dos with or without UMBs, virtual disk, network
ESE> support. And the main plus is 100% compatibility of 4dos and 4os2 :
ESE> under any OS on my machines I use the same batch files!
But the main minus has been the incompability to several old DOS programs I  
had to run in the time when I tried switching. But it's a good system. (Thats 
 
why IBM developed it.) Especialliy when using it in a mainframe envioronment.
And as stated before rexx is ingenius.
ESE>          I tried to use NT 4.0  but I can't install 4dos as  a
ESE> primary shell for VDMs under it :(
Sure. When using NT you have no Dos underneath. So you ran NT (which only has 
 
a dos like cmd processor)
ESE> So I can't seriously use NT in my business.
That bring up some questions. First - whats your business. Second ever  
considerd redisigning the way you work?
ESE> (I know 'bout 4NT - this is a shell for _procected_ tasks
ESE> only)
Isn't the whole NT protected?
