Scitech Continues to Improve Display Doctor Pro

Scitech continues their development of new video features for OS/2 users. This screenshot of an OS/2 desktop running on a dual-head system was posted on the Display Doctor for OS/2 newsgroup. According to the folks at SciTech, newer cards like the Matrox Parihelia which supports 3 monitors will also be supported. As someone who just bought a multihead video card, I'm looking forward to seeing this feature in the publically available releases.
