[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] TCP sockets driver, Desqview/X

Go to your bookshop and buy the IBM PC special issue of BYTE.
Detach the booklet from Quarterdeck and read it.
Full X support in the DESQview multitasking environment for MSDOS.
Seems amazing.
Just as striking to me is that it looks like (I have to check) Quarterdeck
have managed to multiplex the FTP Software socket driver between several
concurrent DOS applications.
More like TCP/IP wouldn't it?
This strengthens my opinion that PD software for DOS should detect and use
this socket API when present.
