A while back, I found a file with your Desqview object code
 that help make a program DV aware and compatible. The calling .BAS
 program you gave is as follows:
'DV Functions for PowerBASIC
'CopyRight 1991 by Dave Navarro, Jr.  All Rights Reserved
DECLARE FUNCTION DVGetVer%()  'Get DesqView version
DECLARE SUB DVGivUp()         'Give up the rest of the DV timeslice
                              ' you MUST call DVGetVer first
$LINK "DVINT.OBJ"
PRINT "DesqView Version:";DVGetVer%*.01
CALL DVGivUp
    My question is this: must DVGetVer%() be called every time you
 wish to call DVGivUp(), or only the first time in your program? Why
 must it be called first?
