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