Subject: Some Questions & Comments

>May I presume you to be Quarterdeck Offices Systems official interface to
>the net-people for DV/X?? If so, some (maybe stupid) questions:

Sorry about the delay, I was out most of last week and still have unread
messages. No this is not part of my job.  E-mail support for Quarterdeck
products is provided on the Internet by sending requests to support AT qdeck DOT com.

>  - How does one utilize the DLLs?

A program needs to be built to use them. We currently only have DLLs that
support Microsoft C 6.0 (and probably 7.0).  You would need the X11 Toolkit
(about $300).

We have considered, and made noises about releasing those libraries but
currently have no plans.

Send them to support AT qdeck DOT com.

There is a news group comp.os.msdos.desqview. I do not know of such a mailing
list.
