[net.wanted] Wanted: some smart desk accesories

peter@baylor.UUCP (Peter da Silva) (07/24/85)

I'd like a couple of desktop acessories for the IBM-PC: (1) a calculator that
doesn't have a bunch of dumb useless buttons on it (like a window to "bc"),
(2) a text editor like sidekick's without the rest of sidekick's junk, and (3)
a terminal emulator. Has anybody written one of these? If not, would anybody
else pay money for them? Has anybody got a skeleton desk-acc program in 'C'
like the one for the Mac recently published in net.sources.mac? Has anyone
used the terminate-and-stay-resident function from 'C'? How do you tell if
you're in MS-DOS? How do you trap keys? That's the hard part, I've got enough
docs to do the rest.
