- ID:CP DESQview Companions Synopsis
- Quarterdeck Technical Note #124
- 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 DESQview Add a Program list of
- applications. These 4 products are contained on the same diskette
- for a single low price. They were written by our development
- team...the same people who 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 features) 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 RoloDESQ" to keep track of names,
- addresses, and phone numbers to dial with their DESQview Auto
- Dialer. Notepad has a built-in DESQview Learn script conversion
- perfect for writing and editing 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 diskette is sold as a separate add-in for
- DESQview.
