    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).

            O, wow, ViewMaxx… I had completely forgotten that.

            Sure would like to get a collection of this stuff and run in a VM just for fun.

            HP had an internal system just to make a simple GUI in DOS, forget what it was called. Just gave you buttons for a dozen programs.
