I would like to get more information on the "Virtual Control Program
Interface" (VCPI).  Does anyone know where I can get the information?
Perhaps it could be E-mailed to me?

According to the PC Week that just arrived:  "Both Desqview and Omniview's
386-control programs are compatible with the Virtual Control Program
Interface (VCPI).  The VCPI is a standard industry interface promulgated
by Desqview, Qualitas and the developers of protected-mode software tools
(Phar Lap Software Inc., A.I. Architects Inc., and Rational Systems
Inc.(*))  It allows concurrent use of protetcted-mode DOS programs, such as
Paradox/386, Foxbase/386 and Interleaf Publisher, and multiple DOS programs
operating in real-mode.

I haven't seen it discussed in this newsgroup.

Thanks  -- Dave
