- ID:CP DESQview Companions Synopsis
- Quarterdeck Technical Note
- by Bob Perry
-
- DESQview Datebook, DESQview Calculator, DESQview Notepad
- and DESQview Link
-
- Many DESQview users inquire about our DESQview Companions
- products after seeing them listed on their main DESQview Add a
- Program list of applications. Each of these 4 products are
- contained on the same diskette for a sinqle low price. They were
- written by our development team...the same persons that write
- DESQview itself. Each one balances maximum utility with low
- program memory size for maximum DESQview compatibility.
-
- DESQview Datebook
- The Datebook Companion gives the user a pop-up calendar
- program which shows a month-at-a-glance, year-at-a-glance, week-
- at-a-glance, or day-at-a-glance. Many of us here in the lab.
- keep ours zoomed down to just a tiny rectangular window showing
- the date and time, but ready to zoom up at an instant. The Datebook
- permits calendar entries and alarms to be set far into the
- future. Multiple datebook files can be set up for various purposes.
-
- DESQview Calculator
- The DESQview Calculator pops up for instant calculations.
- It does all one might expect of an ordinary desktop calculator:
- arithmetic, exponents, square roots, etc. It has a memory
- function and, one of its most useful feature, an on-screen "tape"
- to track the steps in a calculation. An accountant I know keeps
- several DESQview Calculator windows open at all times.
-
- DESQview Notepad
- The DESQview Notepad is really a combination of a
- miniature word processor and information retrieval system. That
- is because the authors wanted the ability to write notes and
- then sort for keywords. The Notepad is perfect for
- customization. Lots of folks have made their own "DESQview
- RolaDESQ" to keep track of names, addresses, and phone numbers to
- dial with their DESQview autodialer. Notepad has a built-in
- DESQview Learn Script conversion perfect for writing and editting
- your macros!
-
- DESQview Link
- As moderator of our BIX (Byte Information eXchange)
- DESQview Conference, I'd be lost without my DESQview Link
- telecommunications Companion program. It knows how to dial up,
- log in and remember all my access codes and passwords. It is
- perfect for uploads, downloads, and capturing messages. Its host
- sessions are perfect for sending files to friends that have a
- modem.
-
- The Companions product is sold as a separate add-in for DESQview,
- and also as part of the money-saving DESQview "bundle" with QEMM-
- 386.
