Multiuser DOS Federation


The Multiuser DOS Federation was an industry alliance to promote the growth and acceptance of multi-user DOS-based solutions on 286, 386 and 486 computers. It was formed in July 1990. The idea was to reduce costs by allowing workgroups to run DOS applications from a shared PC while working on terminals or workstations.
On 18 February 1991, several members of the Multiuser DOS Federation issued a press release regarding their intentions to support DPMI in their products including Alloy Computer Products Inc., Bluebird Systems, Inc., Concurrent Controls, Inc., Digital Research, Inc., S&H Computer Systems, Inc., StarPath Systems, Inc., The Software Link, THEOS Software Corporation, Intelligent Graphics Corporation.
