What you are saying here is correct, but... there are many programs (all that write directly to the screen) that won't run in the background on a 286. On a 386 they all work fine with DESQview 386. I can even run a graphics programs together with a programs that writes to the screen in text mode and have both of them on the screen at the same time. And both are running! This is definitively impossible on a 286. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Klaus Hartnegg, Kleist-Str. 7, D-7835 Teningen, Germany | include standard Bitnet : hartnegg@dfrruf1 or hartnegg@cernvm | disclaimer here!
