I have heard of a program called "Right Hand Man" (shareware) that has the same purpose in life as SideKick and is suppousedly liked more by some people. I tried simtel20.arpa, but nothing there (or maybe I have not looked enough ?) I have also tried other ftp anonymous servers that store MSDOS stuff but no luck. Anyone heard of it ? Anyone got it ? Any one willing to share ... ? -merlin michal@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu

I had verson 1.5?? and was satisfied with one exception. The program has a major bug in the calander/alarm segment. It seems that the programmer neglected to consider leap year!!! all of the days were off by one!! since I wanted it for the calander/alarm function, I have stopped using it. It is a good package, and If you succeed in finding a version that has the calander fixed, Please drop me a note, as I would like to have it. another package you might look at is Homebase. It should be available from bbs's Duane L. Rezac -- +-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+ | Duane L.

The only version of Right Hand Man that I know of is not shareware and was written for CP/M. It may have been ported to MS-DOS since the days of CP/M. It only superficially resembled SideKick. Sorry. Dale Webb
