William Douglas asks how well DESQview runs on a '386 with 4 MB of
RAM.  It works fine for me, albeit a little slower than I thought it
would.  I'm running a 20Mhz Mylex board with 4 MB of RAM and have an
EGA NEC Multisync.  While I don't run TOPS under DESQview, I do run
Novell Netware 2.0a under it with no problems.

Interestingly, my '286 ADS AT clone at home now has an "All Chargecard"
from All Computers Inc in Toronto (416/960-0111).  One of the most
amazing cards I've seen.  It turns all my extended memory into LIM
4.0 expanded memory.  With respect to DESQview, I don't need the
QEMM '386 expanded memory manager, yet I can *run* as many programs
in the expanded memory under DV as I have room for.  The home machine
has a mono display with a Hercules clone card.  The system performance
seems *faster* than my work '386!  Both machines have a 2 MB ram cache.
