Perks-PC is a set of terminate-and-stay-resident utilities originally designed for the Zenith Z-100 and optimized for use on laptop computers. It features a notepad, typewriter tool, a four-function calculator, appointment calendar, card file, a rudimentary telecommunications program with file transfer abilities, and alarm clock. Notably, it claims to support all versions of DOS including DOS 1.x.
It competed against other TSR utilities such as PolyWindows, Lotus Metro, PC-Desk, Sidekick, Desktalk, Homebase, HQ, Mastro, PC Desk, Pop-Up Desk Set, and WordPerfect Library.
Note: The Zenith version below is only for Zenith Z-100 computers (Not Z-100 PC or IBM PC)
Perks-PC is a fork of Perks for Z-100, hence the Z-100 version has a higher version number but an earlier release date.
