The thing I really dont like about Desqview is that, on a high resolution monitor, it wont support text resolutions like 132x50 or 132x40. Windows (on a 386) on the other hand, will allow me to have several "DOS" windows open at once. Perhaps I'm just spoiled, I'v got a NeXT at the office! -- Lance Bledsoe Off: (512) 343-1111 Pencom Software, Inc. Fax (512) 343-9650 8716 Loop 360 N.
