I just recently bought a Quadram memory expansion board and
included free with the board was this disk labelled Polywindows.
Slightly intrigued, I decided to see what it was. I read the enclosed
instruction manual and found to my delight that Polywindows was a
memory resident ( like Sidekick from Borland ) utility package.
Polywindows has an editor ( a wonderfully easy to use and
fast one no less ), a calculator, a notecard utility, a dialer,
a calendar with appointment book, an alarm clock, a directory
lister ( i.e. DIR ), and many other good things. It also
gives you the option of which of these utilities you want to
install.
I opened up Polywindows and I was using it the first day.
It increased my efficiency on the PC by at least 50%. It's
that good.
My only complaint about Polywindows is that it takes up a
bit of memory ( 10K for each included utility - approximately ).
However having the new Quadboard, this is no problem. I'm also
running it on a 256K machine and it works fine there as well.
Watch out Borland these guys are good.
