Quarterdeck Desqview, baby :)  I still own it.  DV ver 1.44 if I
remember correctly.  Of course the floppies are probably corroded, lol,
but I still own it.  I still have the manuals for my BBS too.  I used
one called Remote Access and had Front Door for the FidoNet mailer.  I
was the NEC for Southwestern Louisiana.  It was a lot of phone (and big
phone bills).  The mail software that I used was called Fmail and it
used indexed mail folders (was quite fast).  I also wrote a little
custom QuickBasic script to do accounting for inbound mail, dividing it
amongst the people who send/received mail through me.

I do miss it.
