 If you mean interprocess communication, DV also provides dynamic data exchange
 with mailboxes.

 I have used DV/386 for about 6 months now, and I find it absolutely great.
 Quarterdeck did it right - DV is much, much smaller than Windows and, for the
 serious computer user, has much more utility.  If you want you PC to be a Mac,
 get Windows.  If you want your PC to be a workstation, get DV.  And when
 DV/X comes out, there will be no point in buying Windows anyway.
