Yes, I do realize that you were talking of DESQview oblivious applications.
Otherwise, I would not have been so careful to describe my applications
as DESQview specific.  Further, Quarterdeck sells a very nice C-Language
API for DESQview, so you can easily incorporate DESQview awareness or
specificity into your C-code (which I understand is the source of the
most serious difficulties you are experiencing).

In short, we simply have not experienced difficulties with off-the-shelf
DOS applications (such as Excel, Word Perfect, ProComm etc...) running
under DESQview along with the DESQview specific applications we develop
in-house.

Another viewpoint.
