Message-ID: <1991May17.094930.25084@wam.umd.edu> Date: 17 May 91 09:49:30 GMT Sender: usenet@wam.umd.edu (USENET Posting) Organization: University of Maryland at College Park Lines: 10 Has anyone tried running a BBS in the background of Desqview? At present I have a 386SX-16 w/2MB and 80HD... I was wondering how it would be to run a BBS in the background and still do work in the foreground... How would the speed be, for example, if someone was downloading files in the BBS, while I was working on a WP, or graphics program in the foreground... I have never used Desqview before, so any help would be appreciated... Hopefully it is better than Win 3.0 in multitasking dos programs... Thanks in advance! Ys
