Los Angeles ACM Chapter Meeting
Quarterdeck's New Tools For Windows
Gary Saxer, Quarterdeck Office Systems
Wednesday, May 1, 1996
To get the most from your PC you need to have memory and to manage it.
QEMM 8, Quarterdeck's flagship memory manager is designed to help you
do just that. This has new features for all Windows 3.1, Windows 95,
and DOS users and includes system memory maximization, memory
multiplying and system resource management. Sometimes you have left
over, obsolete software that you want to clean out of Windows. Then
you can use CleanSweep95, the new uninstaller for Windows 95, Windows
NT and Windows 3.1, which deletes and archives programs and files for
safe clean-up of your hard drive. The utility will safely remove
system files and hunt down unused files, fonts, and program files on
the user's system to save megabytes of hard disk space and increase
performance.
Gary Saxer will tell you about these and other Quarterdeck products in
the new world of Windows 95. He is Vice President of Technical
Services and is responsible for technical support, training and
consulting, and worldwide telecommunications for Quarterdeck. Joining
the company in 1982 as a programmer, Gary was one of the first group of
Quarterdeck employees. Before joining Quarterdeck, he worked with
Quarterdeck's founders at the Axxa Corporation. As one of
Quarterdeck's principal spokespersons, Saxer is featured on numerous
radio and television shows and has become widely known over the last
ten years for his spirited presentations at industry trade shows.
An expert in DOS memory management (sometimes referred to as "Mr.
Memory"), he is the author of "Total Recall: The Ultimate Guide to
Memory Management". Gary holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Science
from California State University, Northridge.
Windows 3.1, Windows NT, and Windows 95 are copyrighted by Microsoft
Corporation. QEMM, CleanSweep, and Quarterdeck are trademarks of

Pepper Mill Restaurant, 795 E. Walnut St., Pasadena
Cold Fusion is a database application development tool that
enables the rapid creation of interactive, dynamic,
information-rich Webs.
Developing applications with Cold Fusion does not require
coding in a traditional programming language like Perl,
C/C++, Visual Basic, or Delphi. Instead, you create
applications by combining standard HTML files with
high-level, database markup tags that are easy to understand
and use.
Cold Fusion is a platform for Web application development on
Windows NT and Windows 95 systems.
For information or reservations, contact John Radbill at
jrad...@inst-sun1.jpl.nasa.gov or (818) 354-3873.
