It was likely QEMM as the memory manager and DesqView as the actual
multitasking program.  The two worked together quite well when it came to
multitasking for DOS.  Many a sysop used them back in the day.
 
IIRC, you could use QEMM without DV, but DV required QEMM in order to
properly multitask multiple DOS windows.
