Borland SideKick

Borland SideKick is a PIM (Personal Information Manager), introduced by Philippe Kahn in 1983. It was originally known as TSR software or a Terminate and Stay Resident program until it was transferred to windows and finally became a PIM. It simply works by loading in the memory then enables computer to go back to its DOS command prompt. This sequence allows users to pull up another application by pressing Control + Alt that were set as its hotkey by default. Immediate task switching in a DOS programmed in single-tasking was made possible by Borland Sidekick. It comes with other features such as calculator for scientific, business, formula and programmer purposes. It has a personal calendar and phone dialer or address book. It also includes a Notepad text editor that can hold up to 9 files and a terminal communication program, called ASCII chart.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .skc files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .skc. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
