You can find 4DOS on SIMTEL in the following place (taken from SIMIBM.IDX):

"PD1:","<MSDOS.SYSUTL>","4DOS301A.ZIP",1,335225,8,900603,
	"4DOS v3.01a, enhanced COMMAND.COM replacement"
"PD1:","<MSDOS.SYSUTL>","4DTECH01.ZIP",1,8693,8,900517,
	"Official 4DOS technical notes #1 for 4DOS 3.0"
"PD1:","<MSDOS.SYSUTL>","4EDIT10.ZIP",1,30350,8,900323,
	"4DOS full screen directory description editor"

As for compatibility with DESQview, I run it under DESQview 2.26 on an
8086 processor all the time with no problems.  The 4DOS docs say that
it should run under DESQview fine, so I don't see why it shouldn't run
under DV on a 386.
