You can probably find DESQview via these links I think.
ftp://kenny.noc.aracnet.com/dv
http://www.pangea.ca/~dmorriss/wud/ (multitasking section)
I never tried using graphics in DV so can't say much about that.
Although DV will apparently multitask on sub-386 machines
(according to some old docs I may have lost recently :-( )
I do believe it it does actually multitask, at least in a Win3
sort of way(?) but you'll definitely need QEMM386.
I remember a package of unix-like reporting tools for DV that
might help determine how well it's multitasking.
I really need to get a DOS machine up and working so I can revisit DV.
