Any possibility that the multitasking capabilities of DESQview will
be used?  With DESQview/X coming out, it would be great to have
a free compiler that one could very easily port X apps to the PC.
Quarterdeck claimed that they were going to make porting easy,
but from the rumors I've heard that's not very true.  Although
I don't know much about asm programming in 386 protected mode
and I don't have much time now, I would be willing to donate
help to make GCC  work with DESQview.
