Article Abstract:

Borland International Inc's Sidekick 2.0 personal information management system software package is an executive organizing tool that offers a Windows-like interface. The program can work on a microcomputer that has Microsoft Windows 3.0 but it takes over the screen when activated. Sidekick 2.0, which takes up 40Kbytes of memory, features an electronic address book with an autodialer, time management tools, an alarm clock, a notepad, communications software and a calculator. The software, which supports various networks including Novell, 3Com, Banyan and Token Ring, can be loaded as a memory resident program or as a separate application.
