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 out DESQview Companions
products after seeing them listed on their main DESQview Open
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. Datebook
permits calendar entries and alarms to be set far into the
distant 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 Datebook 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 author's 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
dail 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.
