The following DEBUG script will create a program that quits DESQview as
long as there are no applications open that have "Allow Close Window
Command" set to N on the second page of the Change a Program Menu.

Mark and Transfer the following lines of text into a plain ASCII file.
Call that file QUITDV.DBG.

n quitdv.com
a 100
MOV    AX,101B
INT    15
MOV    BX,1559
MOV    AX,1110
INT    15
MOV    BX,1051
MOV    AX,1110

MOV    BX,FC00
MOV    AX,1110
INT    15
MOV    AX,101C
INT    15
MOV    AX,4C00
INT    21

rcx
27
w
q

Make sure that you don't leave out the blank line before rcx.  Save the
file QUITDV.DBG, and make sure DOS's DEBUG is on your path.  Force-feed
your .DBG file to DEBUG like this:

DEBUG < QUITDV.DBG

This will create a file in the current directory called QUITDV.COM.
Again, it will not work if an open window has "Allow Close Window
Command" set to no in the DVP.  Otherwise, SAVE YOUR WORK, type QUITDV
from a DOS prompt (or run it from a batch file) and watch the fun.

Assuming the client is well-implemented, it won't bring down the
system no matter which ring it runs in, or which well-implemented host
it makes use of.

I sympathize with your disappointment; everyone in technical support who
runs mwm misses Mark and Transfer as well.  However, we can't modify
mwm; we have licenced it and recompiled it and that's all we can do
within the confines of the licence agreement.  (If we modified it, it
wouldn't be mwm any more.)  While the lack of Mark and Transfer might
seem a deficit to you, it's a feature to everyone who wants to see Motif
and nothing but Motif on their machines.  Motif is offered for those who
want an OSF/Motif look and feel on their desktop, and that look and feel
does not provide a Mark and Transfer.  Perhaps it may someday.

Meanwhile, we didn't have to add support for Mark and Transfer to dwm;
dwm was conceived from the ground up, by Quarterdeck, as a window
manager that would include this feature.  So in fact, I am paying a
compliment to our company's software offerings; the software that we
designed has, apparently, more of what you want.

Here in Canada, our software comes with a warranty; I would assume that
things are similar in the U.K.  Please contact our offices there, or at
QIL in Dun Laoghaire, if you have questions about refunds, and I'm sure
they'll help you out.

If possible, you would want to back out the various customizations you put 
in one by one until you get to the offending one.  Also you could edit
the DVX.CFG file and eliminate anything other than DWM on the CLIENT
line.  Also put a # at the beginning of the NET line to comment it out.

The first thing to try would be just starting it with "DVX > error.out"
and see if it puts any messages in error.out.  This plus the above should 
pinpoint where the problem is coming from.

I have just released DVINT33.ZIP and DVDEVL12.ZIP.

DVINT33.ZIP contains the DESQview/QEMM/Quarterdeck portions of the interrupt
list, release 33 (1/3/93).

DVDEVL12.ZIP contains DVdevload v1.2, which permits you to load device
drivers inside a DESQview window.  It takes much less memory than
Quarterdeck's DEVICE.COM, and won't cause problems when 4DOS or NDOS is
used as the window's shell.  Version 1.2 will now run without its support
TSR if neither 4DOS nor NDOS is present.

Both are now available for anonymous FTP on CS.CMU.EDU [128.2.222.173] in
/afs/cs/user/ralf/pub/DESQview, and will shortly be available on SIMTEL20
and GARBO.

Question 30 of the most recent FAQ states that current users of "DV/X
to Other X Systems" can receive a free copy of Novell's stack by contacting
QD. Okay, that's easy enough. So what does that do for me? I gave up on
DV/X some months ago because I wasn't willing to pay for PC-TCP in order
to run it (It was more cost effective to run OS/2). So now, I'm looking
at my office-mates lonely PC and wondering: Can I buy an ethernet card for
it, combine it with the DV/X+Network Manager and the Novel thing they will
send me for free, and have a DV/X system that works the way I had
originally hoped?  If not, then is the Novell stack just to allow Novell
LAN users to get onto TCP/IP networks?  If this is the case, then are
there any cheap alternatives to getting a DV/X machine working?

Thanks Michael, and also the several others who responded via e-mail.

Stub.exe, I understand now, calls go32.exe.  If you finish the app
with aout2exe, you only need to have one copy of go32.exe in your
path, not one copy bound with each application.   I'll buy that!

We have reproduced this problem here in the DOS extender shop.
Fixes will come from QOS, but I don't know when they will be available.

FYI: dvxs0 is a data file created by the first stage DOS extender
(procman.exe), and is created if any DOS/4GX application is in use.

The .SWP file is created IFF the VMM is enabled and 32-bit LinExe or

Gil,
  I allso like DR DOS.  But I've found what I consider to be a great setup.
I use QEMM 6.02, DR DOS, and 4DOS 4.0.  I installed 4DOS as my bootup 
SHELL and configured it to use as much upper memory as I can.  Currently
my 4DOS Shell only takes up 2.9K of conventional, the rest is loaded high
and in expanded memory pages.  I use QEMM to load a couple drivers high
and this leaves me with a system with 623K of conventional memory, without
sacraficing anything!

Actually, what Paul's problem turned out to be that he did not have "virtualize

Thanks to Gary Rich, I finally figured out that you need to 
virtualize IPX in order to use most of the Novell utilities.  With
that fixed, things like RConsole work fine, well, almost.

When I am not in DV/X, I can see all the servers on our internet
as soon as I enter RConsole.  Under DV/X, many of them are missing!
By refreshing the list of servers again and again, my server will
finally show up.  It's like RConsole is not catching all the 
"announcement packets" from the servers.  Anybody else have this
problem?

BTW, kudos to Quarterdeck for their past support in all of this!

Norton Utilites, and Central Point set up some neat additional colors
in the EGA/VGA pallette. To make room for these extra colors, they replace
the "blinking" colors with their new colors. When you put up the DESQview
menu. DESQview changes the pallette to the default EGA/VGA pallette, which
means the neat colors change back to blinking colors. There are a couple
of things that you can do.

1. Ignore it. It does no harm. (If all windows are full screen, 
you won't even notice it much.)

2. Use the pallette program that comes with DESQview to change the
DESQview default pallette to one where the colors don't blink. The
program, and its DVP file are loaded by default into the DESQview
directory, but not loaded into the DESQview menu. Use Add-A-Program
to add it to the DESQview menu.

3. All of the Norton Utilities have a command line switch to turn
off the neat colors. Use the /? option to find out what the switch
is. If you can put the programs in CGA mode, you can get the same
effect.

Is there an easy way to do this I am missing?  An easy way to exit
DV (I am using 2.42, and QEMM 6.02 BTW), run the backup event, and
re-enter DV.  I already know how to set up script files to automatically
make DV open the PCB wiindow.  

Oh, kinda got off subject.  If I remember right, there were some paremeter

exe2aout xv.exe    will strip off go32 and leave you with an a.out file name

You may then do copy /b go32.exe+..... or aout2exe xv   to get a stub prepended
exectuable (the preferred method).
