Is there anyone out there who uses Desqview and QEMM? I would like some 
opinions on its performance in comparison to other IBM 
multitaskers/taskswitchers such as Windows 3, Double Dos, Vmix, etc...
I have purchased Windows 3 but found it to be very slow, even on my 386-25. 
I can't run DOS programs in a window, which is what I really want, 
with the 1 meg that I have. After seeing Desqview on a friend's computer, I'm
considering selling my Windows and getting Desqview. Should I abandon Windows
or get more memory and stick with it?

Basically what I want to do is run 2 medium sized applications or a small one
and a large one concurrently. I want speed and as little disk swapping as
possible. 

Any comments would be welcomed. 

Eugene...
