I don't have any programs that won't run, but I'm told that 16 bit behave differently in win98, in that resources aren't freed when the program is exitted. Not until all 16 bit programs running are exitted. The issue is closely linked to how the Win32 system 'hands out' resources to any app or instance that needs

PC Equivalents to Amiga graphics programs?
<grin> As to NT (New Technology, but for a long time spelled out as Not There), this was intended to be the successor for 16-bit OS/2 and DOS-based Windows (which basically used the OS/2 1.x Presentation Manager as its Program Manager). Unfortunately (or fortunately?), this is where Microsoft and IBM parted.

Suggestions for WIn 3.1 internet software
MSDOS systems don't even use half the UNIX commands that I use. Amigados is closer to UNIX than MSDOS, but MSDOS is not all there is on the PC's.

Operating System ?
This is tantamount to saying that UNIX is not fully multitasking, considering that the operating system will, at times, have to block on serial ports or file I/O.
