    Quarterdeck wish the kernel to be made reentrant, but FTP Software never
    replied my question whether they want to do that. Sigh, it would be super.

As a concept, we like DesqView/X, but we've tried to talk to Quarterdeck about
it with little success.  No Quarterdeck person with engineering responsibility
has ever called or sent e-mail to me.  We don't have a copy of DVFTP in-house
(the last I heard was a Quarterdeck support person saying he couldn't send it
because it wasn't in production yet).  "Re-entrancy" is a very broad set of
issues, and won't get resolved until the relevant architects discuss it.
