i don't know who posted the request for info but here it is anyway.  i
just installed DView on a couple of AST 386s here and there are a lot
of pluses and minuses.  first, it's easy to set it up if you just want
to get going but you definitely have to tweak it if you want to run
big programs etc.  the program i had probs with is excel.  i have to
run a run-time version of windows in a DView window.  anyway i found
that allocating 64k in the highest RAM (start from there or DV will
crash) will give you the most (577k) RAM for running programs.  i have
4meg on both these machines but you know this does no good for program
size (ye olde DOS limitations).  the BIG problem, however, is that
with QEMM installed, warm boots no longer work.  the 386s have a reset
button on front fortunately.  for my own use i'll stick to MS Windows
thank you.
