 Geoworks looked like a Motif window manager, with lots of small apps
 built-in, like a card file, word processor, publishing, and so on. It
 would swap itself out for DOS apps. It was a fun little system back in

 DESQview in DOSBOX, eh? Are you running a DOS image inside of it? If
 memory serves, DESQView needed QEMM to run.
