MultiLink Advanced 4.00

Multilink is a multitasking program that turns an IBM PC XT or PC AT into a multi-user, multitasking system supporting up to eight dumb terminals. It enabled DOS applications, files, and printers to be shared among users.

Using this on a commodity PC was considered an inexpensive alternative to larger dedicated multi-user hardware and multitasking operating systems such as XENIX.

It instantly turned many existing DOS application such WordStar, dBASE III, MultiMate, and Lotus 1-2-3 in to multi-user applications. However, it faced the growing problem that many DOS programs did not multi-task well, especially as this pre-dated 386 DOS virtualization.
