I'm almost certain that they are referring to running Windows 3.0 in
a Desqview window.  There has been speculation that if everything
gets set up right, you can make Windows think you have tons of
memory while letting Qemm and DV do the work of swapping.  I have tried
this a little and did not get that good of results.  At least, not
as good as just running Windows from DOS.  Also, Windows did not
want to run in 386 Enhanced mode.
