	For the record, we do have a registered copy of Deqview 386 ver
1.0.  I read the manual cover-to-cover before even installing it AND
when troubles arose.  After many phone calls to Quarterdeck and getting
no where (ie- problem still there), the person on the other end told me
it must be a problem with the SCSI interface by Adaptec and that I
needed a device driver.  He did not know the name of such a driver, but
was sure that it existed.  No where in the manuall for the SCSI drive is
an Adpatec phone number or address.  My inside sources at Tandy (yes I
actually know people there) had never heard of such a driver.
Basically, I think there was a bug in Quarterdeck's programme and they
just pointed elsewhere.  Also, they have not sent us anything about an
upgrade to the newer version.
