I never used IBM's version but Quarterdeck Software's DESQview was 
similar. It wasn't a GUI but allowed you to run programs in multiple 
terminal windows. Running more than one program at a time? Whodda thunk 
it! They also had the QRAM and QEMM-386 memory managers.

The 386 and Windows 3 killed the product.
