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.
