Optimum Settings of Desqview:

    It is essential in my personal view & others on the Beta team)
    to ALWAYS load SHARE via your autoexec.bat (loaded Hi is OK)
    Autoloading SHARE (Leaving it in the root of c: and allowing
    the system to detect it on partitions greater or lesser than
    32 Megs) is courting Disaster - because we have found out that
    Auto loading SHARE does *not* give true file locking or
    File integrity.

    ALWAYS load your Fossil (bnu recommended) via your config.sys
    or autoexec.bat File when you boot up your system (Remembering
    that any changes are only valid after a system reboot)

    In your Runbbs.bat include the command to recapture INT 14 ie

    Using BNU 1.70

      BNU /C

    Using BNU Beta versions later than 1.70

      BnuHlp /C

    Using X00 (1.2x)

      XU Capture:On
