Merge (software)

Merge is a software system which allows a user to run DOS/Windows 3.1 on SCO UNIX, in an 8086 virtual machine.

History
Merge was originally developed to run DOS under UNIX System V Release 2 on an AT&T 6300 Plus personal computer. Development of the virtual machine began in late 1984, and AT&T announced the availability of the machine on 9 October 1985, ==Reception==
Reception
While criticizing the AT&T 6300 Plus as poor value, InfoWorld in 1986 praised Simultask's performance and DOS compatibility on the computer. Reporting that at least one terminal emulator ran on it but not on native MS-DOS on the 6300 Plus, the magazine estimated that Simultask's performance running DOS software was comparable to that of the original IBM PC AT. Also approving of the documentation and ease of installation, InfoWorld concluded that Simultask was "an elegant and reasonably priced one-box solution for those who want to access both Unix and MS-DOS". ==See also==
