Seeing all the discussion about DESQview a while back, I figured that there
might be some people interested in running PC-WRITE in a window, rather than
just in full-screen mode. I hacked together the following program today.
To use it, uudecode it (it should be 447 bytes), download it, and change
the invocation DV uses for PC-WRITE to
d:path\DV-PCW.COM d:\pcw-path\ED.EXE
Also turn off "writes directly to screen", and turn on "Allows TopView calls"
and "Close on exit to DOS". You will probably not want to turn off "runs only
in foreground".
This program works because Bob Wallace of Quicksoft had the foresight to
allow you to tell PC-WRITE all about the video memory, including its
starting address. What the program does is get the address of the virtual
screen used by DESQview, and set the environment variable ED to contain the
&S:nnnn directive telling PC-WRITE where the screen starts. It then loads
PC-WRITE.
CAVEAT: I have only tested this program on my machine (AT-clone running
under PC-DOS 3.10)
Enjoy!
