PC-MOS 4.0 is an operating system that supplants DOS and lets
you run most DOS applications in a multiuser, multitasking
environment. With version 4.0, a single user can reboot a task
without interrupting other users, the Software Link reports.
Other additions include new driver software that lets PC-MOS
support full-color, bit-mapped graphics with VGA resolutions,
allowing up to 16 workstations with graphics to tag onto a
single CPU, the company reports.
 
With the new print spooler, a single print processor can
control the output to multiple printers simultaneously,
allowing you to send output to many printers. A monitor program
utility lets a system administrator control various aspects of
a task, including priority and time allocation.
 
PC-MOS 4.0 can relocate into extended memory and requires about
128K bytes of memory. It supplants DOS 2.0 or higher.
 
Price: single user, $195; five user, $595; 25-user, $995.
