<< Thanks Joe.
 I have another question for everyone, where can one
 get desqview?  Quarterdeck was taken over by norton
 and I have no idea where to look.  Although if it
 can't do what I want it to, then getting it would be
 pointless.  Does anyone know if it actually multitasks
 (splitting processor power/mem, or what)?  >>

DESQview was made with the ability to mulitask,
thaks to AST's software spec. called EEMS, or
Enhanced Expanded Memory Specifications. It
would even multitask on a 286. All you needed
was some (not specified in the book) extra memory.

In fact, they were so radically ahead of their time,
that they'd even made a Linux version called
DESQview X.

Where to get it now? DUNNO. I saw two of the
three disks in GEM at a thrift store last month,
but left them, because disk 3 wasn't there....
