Ah revisited, very nice indeed.  I tried this a year ago, but couldn't get it to work, and got lost in other things, congrats on the success, now it's on to 3, 4, or more characters, then the world, Mwahahaha!

Many thanks danbaltzell.

I really hoped to find the solution in the link given by Dr. Benway, (http://people.haptek.com/clint/vftests/). Broken. Then a lot of very empirical experiments. Not totally satisfied with the result because I still encounter some limitations. The characters are less "independant" than those (in two separate windows) of my first experimentations, Trinity & Lola and Meghan & Jessica.

3, 4, or more characters? Sure it may be possible. But my dear old computer (Celeron 400, Windows 98SE and IE6!!!) doesn't like too numerous Haptek characters on its screen. I tried with two fullbodies, and with one torso and one fullbody: it works too but the characters lag. No problem with two torso's (and no great interest in two floating heads!).

Maybe someone here could improve the "thing".

I have four 400mhz PIIs running W98. My two main computers are a little less antique, 1GHz PIII W2K, but the networked computers run just fine for what they are, word processors, terminals, storage devices etc.

I used to like W98SE, it was that it was such an unstable system for someone in my line of work. I need stability and a faster computer to keep upto date with software developments. Vista appears to be stable and fast. Very pleased with it.

Yep, I doubt that I could find new software for those boxes. Good thing I don't need it... yet...

Hate to tell you this, but my Roland midi keyboard is stretched across the two Gateway G6-400s full towers. Perfect height.

Sometimes, I verify if my 486 is still alive. Windows 3.1, what a great OS! But the most exciting thing is to plug my Atari 800XL into the TV, and to start the cassette recorder. Is it what they call nostalgia?

Thank you very much ramccoid and Carl2. But, as you know, one or two windows, the main requested ingredient is a lot of time to waste. [:)]

I remember the DOS 3.0 via 286 machine and the Windows 3.1 very well, I quite enjoyed playing Atari 800XL as a kid, mostly 'pitfall', I certainly remember windows 3.1 being the latest OS. I can't believe that windows 3.1 is still so expensive as of this day, six disks for installation and can still be purchased from microsoft for almost the same price as a modern OS.

I can't believe you can still purchase 3.1, is there any reason to have it nowadays with computers being so inexpensive.

You can pick up a top of the range duel core PC with Vista for less than £500.

Microsoft, the world's biggest company, still like to rip their customers off. It's just pure greed.
