DV Patch for version 2.62 dated 12/01/93.
This patchfile implements fixes to DV version 2.62. This patch will
work ONLY on DV version 2.62. The date on the DV.EXE file (in your
DV directory) should be 12/01/93. If the date on this file is
earlier or later than 12/01/93, you do not need this patch.
This patch should be applied by copying the files which should accompany
this README (PATCH.EX_, 262263.RTP, MFT.RTP and RUNME.BAT) into your DV
directory and then typing:
RUNME
After the patch has been successfully applied, you may delete the
following files (if any still exist) from your QEMM directory:
262263.ZIP
262263.RTP
MFT.RTP
PATCH.EX_

The following changes have been made in DESQview 2.63:
1) Several changes have been made to DVIPX.DVR to better support logging in
to a NetWare server from inside a DESQview window. It is now much easier
to use EMSNETX in a DESQview window, thus reducing the overhead for the
network shell. A harmless "Unexpected Error 0FFFF" message is now
suppressed. When certain NetWare utilities (such as MAP and LOGIN) are
used inside a DESQview window, they change only the window's environment
rather than the master environment. See Quarterdeck Technical Note
#194, Logging in to NetWare Networks from Multiple Windows (LOGIN.TEC)
for more information on how to run the Netware shell inside a DESQview
window. This file is available from CompuServe (!GO QUARTERDECK); the
Quarterdeck BBS at (310) 314-3227; and from Quarterdeck's Q/FAX service
-- from the handset of your fax machine, call (310) 314-2314.
2) DESQview 2.63 works around a bug in the Microsoft version 9.0 mouse
drivers that causes hangs when using a port mouse. This version also
adds support for problems that unhook their mouse interrupt handler while
in a foreground window, and allows programs to switch between DESQview
pointer object use and Microsoft mouse driver use in a window.
3) DESQview no longer considers ^ScrollLock to be a form of ^Break.
4) When used with a DESQview Startup Script with time delays, WordPerfect now
recognizes the F11 and F12 keys, rather than presuming an old keyboard is
attached.
5) All DESQview hotkeys now time out after about 4/10ths of a second. This
makes it easier to change your mind and avoid invoking a DESQview menu by
holding down the key for a moment longer.
6) DESQview now supports Adaptec 174x disk controllers in their Enhanced
Mode, such that the /LD parameter is no longer needed to avoid
15-second delays when accessing the disk.
7) DESQview's behaviour has been modified to work around a bug in LapLink
Pro's NetBIOS support, and another bug in Remote Access BBS Version 2.00
and 2.01. This latter bug is expected to be fixed in later versions of
Remote Access.
8) Critical error handling has been modified to add extra support for
multitasking while playing audio CDs, and to suppress the "Please
allocate more system memory for this window" message, which occasionally
appeared before some critical error messages.
9) Mark Phone Number is now back to work in DESQview 2.63, after taking a
brief vacation for version 2.62.
10) A problem with the "Initial Video Mode" field in the Change a Program Menu
has been fixed.
11) After a timeout on writing to LPT device, an error message is posted.
Additionally, a new command-line switch has been added to DESQview.
/SuppressFormFeed:x (or /SFF:x, where x can be either Y or N; no part of
the switch is case-sensitive) allows the user to prevent unwanted Form
Feeds on printer device time-outs.
12) Windows' LPT1.DOS printer specification is now supported. This allows
the user to multitask while printing out of Microsoft Windows.
13) A minor change allows Manifest's Adapter / Ports screen to be displayed
in two different windows without waiting for a timeout, regardless of the
status of printer contention.
14) DESQview's Learn feature correctly recognizes {ALT--}. The Convert a
Script program has been corrected to support this key combination, and
also recognizes Text to Script conversions of {Keypad x}, where x is one
of the following: / * - +.
15) INSTLAC (which is the program that invokes the Change a Program Menu) has
been fixed so that shortening the name of a program no longer corrupts the
DESQVIEW.DVO file. This could cause hangs or corruption of the DESQview
Open Window menu.
16) XMS 3 calls are now supported under DESQview.
