Basically, this group should be able to discuss the Desqview program and user problems using Desqview, or additional programs that help desqview, namely QEMM and QRAM.  Currently, questions about problems with Desqview, QEMM, and QRAM are spread accross a number of different news groups, ranging from comp.sys.ibm.pc groups and comp.so.msdos groups, to some other groups like comp.protocols groups.  A central newsgroup to discuss problems using either the DV, QEMM, or QRAM programs and upcoming information about new releases such as Desqview/X would help users a lot.  This group should be unmoderated.  A few questions that should be answered before a call to votes:  a) whether such a group should be created. b) what the group should really be called. c) if the charter should be limited even more.  A) Should this group be created?  Considering the number of messages that I've seen about QEMM problems or help with getting some program to work under desqview, a group like this should exist.  In addition, there's some interest in the upcoming release of Desqview/X and I'm sure many people would like to know more about the program and hear from people who've gotten it to work.  These kinds of discussions would benefit from a central newsgroup to post to.  B) What should the group be called? C) What should the scope of the group be?  I'm partial to comp.os.msdos.dv, although it can probably fall under a couple other names depending on the scope of the group.  We could call it comp.windows.dv or something similar and limit the topics to the Desqview program and Desqview386 (DV+QEMM) or DV+QRAM. A spin off group might be created, comp.windows.x.dv to talk about Desqview/X.  comp.os.msdos.dv seems like a good name if people needed help with specific problems that aren't limited strictly to the desqview program (maybe comp.os.msdos.qd, but I don't like the idea of attaching a commercial company (Quarterdeck) to a newsgroup name). The choice of names would in some ways, limit the scope of the discussion in the group.  any thoughts?

Several votes were disqualified (all YES votes) due to a) not sending to the proper address, b) looked like a bounced mail message, or c) came in too late. Two YES votes were counted (listed at the end of the YES acks) and could be disqualified if they are really the same person.  This shouldn't really matter since there are more than enough YES votes over NO votes to create the group.  comp.os.msdos.desqview will be an unmoderated group devoted to the Quarterdeck product DesqView and related products (such as QEMM and QRAM, two memory managers used frequently with DesqView).  Topics of discussion can range >from how to fine tune desqview for such and such a product and getting the memory managers to work correctly, to discussions about upcoming updates such as the long awaited DesqView/X product.
