Comment on What was the Windows 3.0/1 graphical alternative that also ran on DOS?
evenwicht@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks agoTo 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). 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’ evenwich said they recalled it starting with if that wasn’t clear, in fact I had to look up DR-DOS to remember the name ViewMAX).

Of, wow, ViewMaxx… I had completely forgotten that.
Sure would like to get a collectiin 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 about was called. Just gave you buttons for a dozen programs.
