9.00 and 9.10 versions exist. It appears 9.10 will be the last version ever made.

According to the PC World December 1999 issue, Sidekick 99 can no longer track expenses, dial a phone, log activities, or create reports. You get a well-designed but minimalist PIM consisting of a calendar, an address book, a world clock, and a memo pad. You still have the Cardfile, too--a wonderfully useful minidatabase where you can store just about any type of information you want. Among the few new additions: updated import filters and better synchronization with Palm Pilot and REX Personal Digital Assistants.

History

Initially released in 1984 for DOS and became a surprise hit for Danish software publisher Borland, who sold over a million copies of the first release. Although software was developed for Sidekick in it's original DOS version, there was for a time something resembling and SDK for it available, and there was some scope for development for the later Windows versions of the software, the extreme simplicity of the OS/2 PM version of it and the lack of an API meant that it was never used for OS/2 development.

Borland Sidekick For Windows

During 1989 IBM gave a free copy of Sidekick with every copy of OS/2 they sold in certain jurisdictions.
