Since I don't have any hard information or experience with either of the two major ones which are available I'm asking anyone who uses and/or programs under either Windows or Desqview for their opinions as to each products merit and flexability. The system is a 4.77/8 MHz XT clone with 640k, 30Meg HD and an ATI EGA Wonder card connected to a TTL monitor. Specific information on compatability with Turbo C, Turbo Pascal, Microsoft Word 4.0 and Kermit or Procomm would be greatly apreciated. advTHANKSnce --------------------------- Adam R.
