I have been writing DESQview specific software for 1 /12 years. The API
package I got cost me $200 but the documentations stinks. Some of the calls
are documented incorrectly and there are nemuerous syntatical errors. I do
recommend the package since overall there are a lot of nice functions.
For a reasonable refrerence, M&T Books (Redwood City, Ca) has a book 
entittled "DESQview: A Guide to Programming the DESQview Multitasking
Environment: by Stephen R. Davis.
