DesqView != DesqView/X. First one was textmode task switcher (with
similar capabilities windoze used to have back in those days except that
it was faster) and the other one was monstronous (for those days)
graphical beast which took more memory than windoze itself in order to
run as expected. I dubt you ran DV/X on AT ..
