It is in the interests of all application developers who tie into any protocols stack, TCP/IP or otherwise, to try and support as much of the installed base as possible. Even though we are the giant of the network operating system business, most apps vendors choose to support Banyan and LAN Manager aswell because they have no interest in doing our marketing for us! We don't mind (much :-)). We do our own marketing. The same now goes for the TCP/IP stack that's in the LAN WorkPlace for DOS. The big red machine has it's weight well and truly behind LAN WorkPlace and our installed base is huge and growing. We hold a developers conference annually attended by over 1500 developers and this year the sessions on socket and TLI programming using LAN WorkPlace and NetWare 3.11 were about the best attended of any (with the possible exception of the NetWare vs LANman session). To answer your question though (stop ranting Brown :-)), Quarterdeck are one of our developers and Desqview/X looks great. I had a demo of it at NetWorld this year. I plan to run it on some of the LAN WorkPlace machines that I use.
