I think if Doug reads his posting he'll see the flaw in his complaint,
but I've highlighted with "^^^" to help.
*Nobody* is questioning that Desqview runs applications WRITTEN FOR IT
perfectly well. The manual goes into considerable detail about how
to write "Desqview aware" code. And this is great if you are writing
in assembler or have other means to control the way your programs allocate
and use system resources at runtime.
MY complaints about Desqview are compeletely orthogonal to this. I'm
talking about running completely "Desqview oblivious" commercial apps
or programs I wrote using C compilers which do whatever they want to
at runtime.
