Windows in 386 mode runs DOS apps less well, but provides a nice pretty GUI and some nice things at the API level, such as dynamic data exchange. How does one get the API? Is there a document that lists the API hooks for DesqView? The manual only listed enough to make DesqView aware programs, but not anything really useful. --Scott -- -- --Scott (stanton@interviews)
