Semones) > 1. You cannot run NON-Windows programs within a window. You can run non-Windows applications in a window if they can be set up to do BIOS writes rather than direct screen writes. Can Desqview really window stuff that bypasses the BIOS? I can't think of any any handy way to intercept the writes to the display memory on a non-386 based machine. Of course I'm not a hacker when it comes to my PC. I do agree that if your primary goal is to multi-task non-Windows applications, then Desqview is probably a better choice. -- Joel Upchurch/Concurrent Computer Corp/2486 Sand Lake Rd/Orlando, Fl 32809 joel@peora.ccur.com {cbosgd!codas,uiucuxc,hoptoad,petsd}!peora!joel (4078501040)
