DESQview v2.52 performs function 01h for all subfunction requests 0Ch and higher and appears to ignore all lower-numbered functions not listed here. DESQview versions 2.50-2.52 are part of DESQview/X v1.0x; version 2.53 is part of DESQview/X v1.10; and version 2.63 is part of DESQview/X v2.00. BUG: subfunction 05h does not appear to work correctly in DESQview 2.52 SeeAlso: INT 10/AH=FEh,INT 10/AH=FFh,INT 15/AX=1024h,INT 15/AX=DE30h
