Tony,

 TL> That's the magic of virtual 8086 mode.  Same happened with DESQview on

  That was fun running a DOS based dial-up BBS under DOS 5 with DESQView,
and experimenting with the QEMM Memory Utility. :P

  I used the DeadPaint program (Dead for short) to do simple RIP Menus
when I ran GT Power. Yet, a former Sysop believed "RIP is what you do 
to a fart". <G>

  However, Quarterdeck Software (which made DESQView and QEMM), as well
as TeleGraphix (which pioneered RIP Graphics), are both long gone now.
