This, however, is false.  I run Windows in Standard mode in
800x600x16, 800x600x256 and sometimes 1024x768x256 under DESQview
without any problems.  As with any other superVGA program in DESQview,
however, if you pop up the DV menu while Windows has the screen,
switch to another task, and then return to Windows, the Windows screen
image will be trashed.  Windows and its apps are all still running,
though, and provoking a screen refresh is easy enough in most apps.
