Well, I got no response from anyone else using DesqView with the
Technojock's Object Toolkit, but I thought I'd post what I had found
out.
TOT crashes the machine under DV (or sometimes just corrupts the
screen) when you try and move or resize a window. I looked into the
source, and found that in TOTFAST.PAS in ScreenOBJ.Create, it calls
DesqViewTest to determine the position of the DV video buffer - fine 
and dandy. However, in TOTWIN.PAS, it gets the video buffer again, but
this time it gets it straight from Monitor.ScreenBase.

Anyway, the simple solution was just to comment out the DesqViewTest
call in ScreenOBJ.Create, and it all works fine (but not to the DV
screen buffer - I'll try and get that going at a later stage).

Anyway, I'll send this info off to Bob Ainsbury too.
