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 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.
