Introduction to DVTree

DVTree is intended to fill a gap in the world of DOS file managers and
shells - that gap, specifically, is for users of Quarterdeck Office Systems'
multi-tasking environment DESQview.  DVTree is DESQview-specific, meaning
that if you don't run it under DESQview, you can't run it all.  One of
beauties of DESQview, in contrast to other IBM-compatible operating systems
such as OS/2 or Windows, is that it can multi-task just about any DOS software
WITHOUT modification - essentially, if it'll run under DOS, it'll run under
DESQview.  For DESQview users, this is both good and bad, good in that they
can run whatever they already own without having to buy operating-environment
specific software, bad in that developers, knowing that whatever they write
will run under DESQview anyway, tend not to write anything that won't run
OUTSIDE of DESQview - all this meaning that software written to take advantage
of DESQview's unique environment never gets written except by Quarterdeck
itself.  DVTree, I hope, will prove this tendency ill-advised.
