Introduction Feeling crowded? Vern is the Virtual Environment Resource Navigator. Vern allows you to have many programs running at once with each occupying its own Virtual Screen. Vern displays a representation of each of the Virtual Screens in its selector, which, in total, we refer to as VernSpace. A mini window on the surface of the Vern selector is a representation of the actual program in VernSpace. Running Vern results in a cleaner looking desktop and can actually speed up the look and feel of Windows. When a program is sitting in an area of VernSpace that is not currently active (i.e. visible), the Operating System will not waste time redrawing that application. For example, after running Vern you could launch a Word processing program in one Virtual Screen, activate Vern and switch to the next Virtual Screen. Run a Spreadsheet program, switch to the next Vern cell and run a copy of your Internet Browser. The number of programs running is limited only by the amount of RAM in your computer. Vern's use of memory is minimal. Vern can also be used in Multiple Monitor Computer Systems. If your computer has more than one physical monitor you can configure Vern to run a separate selector on each monitor, effectively multiplying the number of desktops on each display. See Multiple Monitors for details.
