Well, looking at the little booklet they gave me, it says that Desqview/X
will multitask real-mode, 16-bit protected, adn 32-bit protected mode
software.  It supports X11, and has a Desqview Window Manager, OSF/Motif
Window Manager, and Open Look window manager available, soon to be
followed by a TAB Window Manager and XVT....

I don't know what kind of machine or hardware requirements are, but it seems
pretty lean compared to Windows 3.0 (bleh).  I just wish I knew more about
pricing, what is the advantages and disadvantages of writing for Desqview/X,
etc.  It would be nice to find out that Desqview/X code was completely 
portable to all X machines.
