[comp.windows.ms] DESQview v2.1 + QEMM/386

wdh@linus.UUCP (W. Dale Hall) (11/21/88)

I realize this is probably the wrong net.group to take this question
(if anyone has a more relevant target, please educate me), but it
seems closest to the situation I'm running.

I have a PS/2 model 70 (16MHz 80386 + 1MB RAM + 70MB disk) and
(separate location) a model 80 (params unknown, cause I haven't really
looked all that hard at the machine). I have a couple of Quarterdeck
utilities (?) running, namely QEMM/386 expanded memory manager, and
DESQview v2.1 (which makes windows capable of "simlultaneous" virtual
8086 operation, with user-definable allocation of time slices).

The main thing I'm wondering is whether anyone else is at all familiar
with these products. The actual technical problem I have is one of
trying to break a simulation down into separate pieces, which run in
separate windows, and talk to each other (say, the event generation
code may exist in a window, event handling in another, and statistical
compilation in a third). My guess is that I would need to do a lot of
this stuff down in assembler, but I'm not really certain it's doable,
being relatively unfamiliar with assembly-level tricks of the trade.

In the preceding article, I slipped on the keys.

					^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
				of course, it's simultaneous.
