Future of DOS4GW, Univbe and VESA?

Hello Sim Folks:

   I would like a deeper understanding of DOS4GW and Univbe.  

   Would someone please email the addresses of the organizations that make
these products?  

   We are seeing lots of interest in Win 95 & Win NT as the future sim
platforms.  I am wondering about alternatives.  

    Any experiences DOS4GW developers wish to share?  
    Are these packages appropriate for commercial apps?  
    How are these priced and licensed?  
    What software development environment is required?  

   Win 95 and NT are expected to support digital Joysticks and 3D cards.  
Both of these are important, the existing analog interface is crap.  NT
also supports multiple processors.  

   Will DOS4GW, Univbe, VESA or any other 32 bit environment be doing the
same?  There isn't some physical law of the universe that prevents this is
there?  Or are all these businesses planning on drying up and blowing away?  
Are ALL sim manufacturers moving to Microsoft platforms.  

                                                               Thanks
                                                               Larry

     Reality, there's nothing else quite like it.
