I have read some about Desqview and Windows 3.0 but haven't used them. What are their relative advan- tages, and can they be used together? Are there other multitasker/ memory managers I should consider? Advice & discussion appreciated. Also if there are downloadable discussions of such matters I'd like to know about them; there doesn't seem to be anything in the FAQ or simtel.
