     The new version of Quarterdeck's Deskview will be out around June
this year;  the 386 version was a sort of a hit at the recent Fose show
in Washington D.C., running several copies of DOS on a 16 mh 386 machine
reasonably quickly.  One of their brochures states:

     The DESQview 2.0 API is an object-oriented interface.  The data
     structures DESQview uses to represent windows, mailboxes etc. are
     called objects.  A call to the API involves sending a message to 
     an object, indicating which of several operations you want performed 
     on that data structure............

I would almost be willing to bet that this product was done in C++, since
I can't quite picture it being done in Digitalk's SmalltalkV, and I don't
really know of any other possabilities.  Anybody know for sure??
