    What is that? I don’t think that’s what I had in mind. I think it’s DESQview I was trying to think of. Anyway, not important… it was just driving me nuts I could not remember.

      Sorry, I think I misunderstood your question.
      And I had literally never heard of any Windows 3 alternatives up to now.

        To be fair, I was quite vague. I think there are multiple right answers… but I recalled one starting w/a ‘D’ and that’s what I was trying to recall.

          I thought your question was clear for what it’s worth. If it was Windows 3.0 era you’re probably looking for ViewMAX (from the same company as DR-DOS, which was an MS-DOS compatible operating system, maybe that’s where the ‘D’ comes from?). I vaguely remember reading (or maybe watching) a good feature about it online a while ago but I can’t find it unfortunately.

              Correct, yes (I meant the ‘D’ evenwicht said they recalled it starting with if that wasn’t clear, indeed for Digital Research, in fact I had to look up DR-DOS to remember the name ViewMAX).
