I believe you mean support for using Desqview as a multiprocessing OS.
And you are right, it is not easy to use Desqview 
as a multiprosessing OS (even though possible and documented).

However, I was refering to Desqview as a way to execute many DOS programs
at the same time. For that, you need 0 support.
