Actually, it is a preprocesser that will access hi memory set up by
QEXT.SYS and store part of dv.exe there freeing up 45+K. You rename it so
that when you type DC, the com file will execute first and then call the exe
file. In order for xdv.com to not be used when QEXT is not installed,
Quarterdeck requires you to rename it to dv.com. Otherwise, executing dv
will execute the EXE file.

Wait a minute, hold on.. There may or may not be physical memory in
those RESERVED memory addresses from 640 - 1024. So what you have
is two expanded memory managers mapping in extended memory into
the same addresses? Doubt it seriously.
You didn't mention anything about QEXT.SYS to give you bigger windows
or is window size substandard to norton speed drills.
I don't know, what you describe is very puzzling, however, what's your
Landmark Speed? Do you perform Speed Disk, Optune, and Veopt
everynight to take care of those deadly frags? <grin> David
