I have a 286-16 machine with 40 MB hard drive, hercules graphics, 1MB memory, and 512K expanded memory. Right now I use the expanded for my cache, and PCKwik stuff. I am considering useing DESQView for multi-tasking. I run the following programs regularily (everyday, or at least once a week): Multi-Edit editor Telix terminal comm program MASM assembler Codeview WordPerfect 5.1 Quattro Pro Archive programs I also have occasion to run C compilers, Harvard Graphics, and in the future, (once I get a coprocessor) AutoCAD release 10. Can DESQView handle all of these things, and if so, if I want to have the first four in the list basically active at all times, how much memory do I need? MASM can just be a DOS window of like 512K. Telix needs about 220K as I use it, and Multi-Edit needs at least 250K, but I can reserve some expanded memory for it's use if I find I need more than that. Will this work? -- Chris Bailey :: baileyc@tramp.Colorado.EDU :: University of Colorado Boulder Ride fast! take chances! but tread lightly!
