- /FHQ17: What are some programs that are incompatible with DESQview?/FB
-
-
-
- [Please forward any other known incompatibilities to the editor of this
- FAQ list /JB(see intro)/CONTENTS/.]
-
-
-
- Any ``386 Control Program'' that is not VCPI compliant /JB(see Q15)/q15.txt/.
-
-
-
- BitFax
-
-
-
- Borland C++ 3.0
-
- Borland has a patch on Compuserve and the Borland BBS. This patch is
- also available on SIMTEL20 as DPMIFI.ZIP in PD1:<MSDOS.CPLUSPLUS> /JB(see Q7)/q7.txt/.

-
- Colorado Memory Systems, Inc.'s TAPE.EXE
-
- Incapable of finding a tape drive piggybacked to a floppy adapter when
- run in a DVC window. It does not crash the system, but backups are
- not possible when inside DESQview. Colorado has no intention of fixing
- this. Under DVX, it can find the tape drive.
-
-
-
- ConFormat
-
-
-
- Diagnostic programs that try to go into protected mode to tested
- extended memory will fail under QEMM. These include QAPLUS and RAMTEST.
- Diagnostic programs should be run from a boot floppy.
-
-
-
- DJGPP//DJGPP-compiled programs
-
- Patch level 5 works with QEMM, but reportedly crashes in a DESQview
- window. There is a GO32 patch on the anonymous FTP site
- GEORGETOWN.NRL.NAVY.MIL in //pub//DOS386//go32-patch which should make it
- work. Version 1.06 has been released, which may work with DESQview.
-
-
-
- DR DOS 6.0 history feature
-
- DR DOS works great with DESQview, except for the history feature.
-
-
-
- DVFormat by SLR Systems
-
- Has problems with DESQview//X which Quarterdeck are trying to fix.
-
-
-
- Games that use digitized sound without extra sound hardware. Digitized
- sound requires that the timer interrupt be sped up to 8000 or more
- interrupts per second, which DESQview can't deal with. The only
- workaround is to turn off the sound or buy extra sound hardware.

-
-
- Micronics rev 1.10.05 and 1.10.06 motherboards with Phoenix BIOS
- Incompatible with QEMM-386. The first rev that worked again with QEMM
- was 1.10.10. Contact Phoenix for a BIOS upgrade.

-
- Mountain FileSafe 4000 Tape Backup Software
-
-
-
- MS-Kermit 3.11
-
- Try setting Optimize Communications in DVSETUP to No. If that doesn't
- work, use the Kermit SET COM command to set the exact interrupt request
- and I//O port used. The problem will be fixed in 3.12.

-
- QA Plus (see above note on Diagnostic programs)
-
-
-
- RAMTEST (see above note on Diagnostic programs)
