- I know I've heard this idea proposed around here before, but with the
- recent discussion of dual monitor support I thought I propose it again.
-
- [for a system with only one monitor...]
- Since OS/2 virtualizes much of DOS's interaction with the hardware,
- would it be possible for OS/2 to make a DOS app think that there are
- two screens connected and allow the user to move between virtual displays
- with alt-esc (or perhaps some other key that switches only between two screens
- for the same DOS app, say alt-tab) ? Either as full screens or windows
- on the desktop?
-
- just a thought.
