Questions Asked and Answered

These were questions I wrote down and asked before doing the stream to try and answer them, and my collected feelings over them.

  • How does Windows 2.x compare Presentation Manager in OS/2 1.1?
  • How does Borland Sidekick compare between DOS and Windows?
  • How is Presentation Manager at handling running multiple console sessions at once?
  • Is Presentation Manager an upgrade over the TSHELL interface?
