/FHQ7:  Where can I get freeware and shareware DESQview programs?/FB



There are quite a few DESQview repositories available, depending on what
network access you have.



/FLBBS/FB

The official Quarterdeck BBS can be reached at (310) 314-3227.  It
supports 1200-9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity.



SIMTEL-20 files (see below) are available for downloading from
Detroit Download Central (313) 885-3956.  DDC has multiple lines
which support 300//1200//2400//9600//14400 bps (103// 212// V22bis// HST//
V32bis// V42bis// MNP).  This is a subscription system with an
average hourly cost of 17 cents.  It is also accessable on Telenet
via PC Pursuit and on Tymnet via StarLink outdial.



/FLFidonet/FB


Many Fidonet nodes belong to DVNet, the DESQview File Distribution
Network. It is coordinated by Peter Stern at 1:17//38.  A monthly
posting to the DESQview echo on Fidonet lists the nodes
participating in DVNet.



/FLInternet (via anonymous ftp)/FB


/CHWSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL [192.88.110.20]/CN

Three directories on SIMTEL are of interest to DV//QEMM users:

/ML4/PD1:<MSDOS.DESQVIEW>

/ML4/Many DESQview programs, .DVPs, etc.

/ML-4/PD1:<MSDOS.QEMM>

/ML4/QEMM programs, information

/ML-4/PD1:<MSDOS.INFO>

/ML4/Information relating to DESQview and QEMM.  The
Quarterdeck White Pages are stored here as QW920327.ZIP.
They are very useful for solving problems.



/ML-8/In each of the three directories, the file 00-INDEX.TXT contains
a list of all the files available in that directory.



/CHOAK.OAKLAND.EDU [141.210.10.117]/CN


A SIMTEL20 mirror.  The DESQview directory is //pub//msdos//desqview.
This is the most up-to-date mirror of SIMTEL20.



/CHWUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU  [128.252.135.4]/CN


Another SIMTEL20 mirror.  The DESQview directory is
//mirrors//msdos//desqview.



/CHNIC.FUNET.FI [128.214.6.100], SRC.DOC.IC.AC.UK [146.169.3.7],
RANA.CC.DEAKIN.OZ.AU [128.184.1.4], & ARCHIE.AU [139.130.4.6]/CN


SIMTEL20 mirrors for non-North Americans



/CHHAYES.IMS.ALASKA.EDU [137.229.40.200]/CN


Contains some of the programs available on DVNet in the directory
//dvnet. The file ``prog.dvn'' is a list of all the programs
available on DVNet.  The file ``dvnet.lst'' is a list of all the
Fidonet BBSs that participate in DVNet.



/FLUUCP/FB

SIMTEL files can be requested via UUCP from UUNET's 1-900-GOT-SRCS.
See UUNET file uunet!~//info//archive-help for details.



/FLEmail-only/FB
If you do not have FTP access to SIMTEL20, files may be ordered by
e-mail from LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU or LISTSERV@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU.

/ML4/If you are on BITNET: LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 or LISTSERV@RPIECS

If your mailer knows domains: listserv@vm1.nodak.edu or
listserv@vm.ecs.rpi.edu

If your mailer wants bang paths:
uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv
uunet!vm.ecs.rpi.edu!listserv



If you use bang paths, substitute your nearest neighbor which is
also on the Internet for uunet in the examples above.  Some
examples are: ames, decvax, decwrl, harvard, hplabs, nosc, rutgers,
sharkey, sun, ucbvax, ucsd, udel, uw-beaver, wuarchive.



Send this command to the server to get its help file:



GET PDGET HELP



Sample command (which gets the catalog of MS-DOS files):



//PDGET MAIL PD:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMLIST.ARC UUENCODE



These commands should be sent as the body of a regular email
message. Do not include a signature because it confuses the server.
If you have xxdecode, you may wish to specify XXENCODE instead of
UUENCODE to avoid character translation problems.



To get a catalog of the DESQview files only, use
//PDGET MAIL PD1:<MSDOS.DESQVIEW>00-INDEX.TXT UUENCODE
