   Yes. DESQview was one of several multitaskers for DOS, and probably the most   
   powerful and fully developed.  It was preemptive mutitasking and put windoze   
   to shame.  We ran 4 or 5 nodes of the NOPCC BBS along with the mail tosser,   
   etc under DOS/DV... on a 150MHz Dx4 machine with 8 or 16 megs of RAM - plus   
   LANtastic to link up the CDROM server.  Took a _LOT_ of tuning of the   
   CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to do that. But it did an awesome job - -    
   just no TCP/IP capability.   
      
   Best regards,   
   Marc
