I recently got a chance to get a good look at Borland's Sidekick for the
Mac. I noticed a REMARKABLE resemblance between several of the Sidekick
DA's and the MockDA's. Is Mock(Terminal Write Printer) being marketed
through Borland?

I'm not certain, but I believe that the same programmer who wrote the Mock DA's was hired by another company to develop a program which Boreland later bought and marketed as Sidekick. (Compare Sidekick to the now defunct MacPhone.) By the way, Boreland just released version 1.1, which takes care of many of the problems of the original Sidekick, and adds features that make it even more useful.

They are similar because they were written by the same guy. -- Tim Smith sdcrdcf!ism780c!tim || ima!ism780!tim || ihnp4!cithep!tim
