QUARTERDECK OFFICE SYSTEMS
VAR and Developer Conference 1992
White Papers and Sample Programs Diskette
Thank you for joining us for our fifth annual Developers Conference! We've
taken a few of the DESQview API programs written by members of the Quarterdeck
Technical Services department and placed them on this disk. There are also some
handy command-line utilities here as well. You'll also find the Quarterdeck
White Papers, with lots of information that should prove to be both useful and
educational.
Each program can be found in its own subdirectory on the diskette.
Documentation is provided for each program, and is found in the program's
subdirectory.
The following programs are included on this diskette:
AREA CODE INTERNATIONALE 2.01
Directory: \AREACODE
Documentation in: DVAC.DOC
DESQview-specific: Yes
Description: Area Code Internationale (ACI) is a handy program for looking up
area codes in the United States and Canada, as well as international access
codes for countries across the world. ACI uses an ASCII data file for its
information, so you can easily make any necessary additions or changes.
BACK WORDS

Description: Back Words is a fun demonstration of the DESQview API, in which
phrases you enter are flipped in reverse. Source code to the program is

BASIC API DEMOS (SEND and REC)
Directory: \BASICAPI
Documentation in: *.BAS files (self-documenting)
DESQview-specific: Yes
Description: SEND and REC are two programs that use the DESQview BASIC API
Library. They should be run in separate DOS windows. As their names suggest,
SEND sends DV API mailbox messages and REC receives them, returning a
receipt to SEND. Then the process begins again. Useful demonstration of
DESQview's mailbox capabilities.
