[comp.sys.sun] dual desktops

I am running SunOS 4.0.3 on a color 3/60.

We use a CAD package here which, for performance reasons, cannot be run in
a sunview window and thus, we are forced to choose between bringing up
this package running fullscreen or else run sunview.

I was wondering if anyone had developed a program which would operate similar
to adjacentscreens, giving you two separate shell environments locked into the
B&W and Color planes with switching between them controlled by running the
mouse off one side of the screen.  Starting from this point, the CAD program
could be fired up in the Color plane and (possibly?) sunview could then be
run in the B&W plane.  Anyway, you get the general idea.

Does anyone have any experience with this type of task or is there some
inherent problem with this idea?

Thanks.
