jeez, Quarterdeck ... now THAT takes me back, I dimly remember back in about 1988 running desqview on a 386 to run 4 windowed instances of my bespoke Pascal serial comm's app concurrently for a while (before I rewrote it in ASM to handle all the ports concurrently within my own app). Ah, those were the days ... NOT :-)

Mind you that wee comms program, little though I knew it at the time, ended up being the foundation of my whole career thereafter. I just retired last year, aged 46, after being a pretty successful design/consultancy 'one man band' business all those years, so thank you Geneven for your unwitting assistance!

sorry for the (wildly) OT, just had to be said :-)
