I just got Desqview and within a few hours I was able to have it optimized
like the manual says. One thing to note is that Desqview really really works
best if you have EEMS (the Enhanced EMS from AST/Ashton-Tate & perhaps wiht
EMS 4.0) on the regular EMS boards it can swap programs & use it for data
but cant run programs in it. On my AST Premium/286 where the entire memory
is EEMS (even below 640) Desqview is a very happy camper... I have had
success with 8 concurrent programs ! I can have my transfer carry on in 
the back ground while I work on something up front !! I am really impressed.
