I called Quarterdeck today and asked them about DOS 5.0 and DESQVIEW. What Tech suport told me was the following: - There is a new upgrade of DesqView to support DOS 5.0 (2.34 is new version) This update is needed to fix some "small" problems with DOS 5 and DesqView. - Update cost is $10 (I purchased Desqview 3 weeks ago :-( - The memory management of QEMM and DOS 5.0 can not co-exist. This means that you have to pick DOS 5.0 memory management or QEMM - There are some reasons to stick with QEMM since the DOS 5.0 memory management is not as effecient as QEMM. Also the benefit that you gain my loading DOS in high memory is lost since DesqView can not load itself in high memory. This means that the actual amount of memory available in the first 640 KB is less than if you leave DOS 5 in low memory and run QEMM. - Since I am running DOS 4.01 now moving to DOS 5.0 w/o loading DOS in high memory will still give me a 10K memory benefit (in the first 640KB), if you are running DOS 3.3 then you will not see this gain. Well It is worth a try... DOS 5.0 can be purchased for 39.95 out here with a 20 dollar "instant rebate" Seems like the thing to do! If any one actually trys DOS 5 and DesqView please let me know!
