DESQview Patch for version 2.61 dated 16/9/93

This patchfile implements fixes to DESQview version 2.61. This patch
will work ONLY on DESQview version 2.61. The dates on the DV.EXE (in
your DV directory) should be 16/9/93. If the date on these files is later
than 16/9/93, you do not need this patch.

This patch should be applied by copying the files which should
accompany this README (PATCH.EXE, 261to262.RTP, MFT.RTP,
YESNO.COM and 261up262.BAT) into your DV directory, and then typing

261up262

(If you have DESQview files of the same name with another date in your
path, you should type: PATH=DV.)

After the patch has been successfully applied, you may delete the
following files (if any still exist) from your DV directory:

261to262.ZIP
PATCH.EXE
261to262.RTP
MFT.RTP
YESNO.COM
261up262.BAT
README.262 (this file)

The following are highlights of the changes that have been made between
DESQview versions 2.61 and 2.62:

1) DESQview now supports multitasking while playing audio CDs.

2) Improvements have been made to mouse support a) such that certain port mice
are initialized properly without a "Revive Mouse", and b) so the mouse IRQ
can be detected on some systems using Microsoft Mouse Version 9 drivers.

3) More support has been added for applications that directly manipulate the
palette registers.

4) Problems with Display-Scripts, Load-Scripts, and Save-Scripts inside of a
script have been addressed.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
