-
- UPGRADES AND BUG FIXES SINCE VERSION 2.0
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- VERSION 2.1 - Released 26th October 1995
- ========================================
-
- - Lottery Predictor added
-
- - Bug fixes concerning error handling and floppy drive support
-
- - One or two minor cosmetic changes
-
-
-
- VERSION 2.2 - Released 2nd January 1996
- =======================================
-
- - 'Go to Date' option added. The 'History' function has been combined
- with the 'Year' function on the second bank of buttons.
-
- - Import Digita's Organiser files. If you have been using Digita's
- Organiser program and have created a Data file, you can place it in
- 'IMPORT' directory (default DH0:IMPORT) and then select it from the
- 'IMPORT' option. The entries, including diary entries, addresses
- and 'Things to Do' will all be added to your REMDATE file, thus
- saving having to re-enter all the entries.
-
- - Message facility added at startup.
-
- - 'Topics' option added. This option allows you to view data files
- which are also compatible with Digita's Organiser. Simply move the
- required Topic file to the 'Topics' drawer (default DH0:Topics) and
- select the option. Clicking on the title on the Index page will
- move you straight to the correct page. Data files are available on
- the Public Domain. You can also create your own with a Word
- Processor or Text Editor. (See main docs for details).
-
- - Updating Print routines to print off 'Topics' in A4 or Organiser
- sizes.
-
- - 'Regular Entries' added. This option replaces 'Special Days' and
- allows greater flexibility. You can now select entries such as
- 'every three weeks' or 'once a month on the 3rd Tuesday'. Dates
- already entered as 'Special Days' just become Regular Entries 'once
- a year'. (See main document file)
-
- - Time sorting of entries. If a time is added anywhere in a Diary
- entry, REMDATE will sort them into Time order. The only restrction
- is the syntax for the time which MUST be 12 hour clock, with the
- AM or PM following straight after the time without a space.
- i.e. 7AM, 7.30pm and 3.15PM are all acceptable. 7.25 am or 14.25
- are not. Time ranges can be included - the first time found
- will be the start time and the second one will be the end time.
- e.g. 'Lunch from 12pm to 2pm' and '9.25am Shopping until 12pm'
-
- - REMDATE now checks to see if two entries clash with respect to time
- and brings it to your attention once the entry is added.
-
- - Unrestricted entry length. Entries are now displayed with a bullet
- point for each new entry and will 'wrap-around' if they are longer
- than will fit on one line.
-
- - Scrollable 'Entries for Today'. If there are more than 6 lines of
- entries for one day, '(More)' will appear at the top of the box and
- you can scroll through the list using 'Alt' & 'Left Amiga' with the
- up and down cursor keys.
-
- - 'Point and Click' Editing. Simply place the mouse on the entry you
- wish to edit and press the Left Mouse button.
-
- - 'Point and Click' Addresses. If a name is displayed as a Birthday
- Entry, then point the mouse at it pressing the right and left mouse
- buttons together. The Address Book will be opened and the correct
- address displayed, if one has been entered.
-
- - 'Set Date and Time' option. By clicking on the date at the top of
- the screen, you can alter the current date and time. If you do not
- have a battery backed up clock, the requester will pop up
- automatically when you run REMDATE.
-
- - Print Option from Address Book has been added by popular request.
- It allows you to either print directly on to an envelope by using
- 'offsets' or print onto a sheet of paper with telephone numbers
- included. It also allows 'auto-punctuation'.
-
- - Bug fixes include a problem which prevented you from adding entries
- in the first week or two of January towards the end of December,
- the disappearance of the first of the month from the calendar as well
- as quite a few that I've forgotten.
-
- - Ability to multitask with other programs and move the REMDATE screen
- to the back etc. with Right Amiga + Right Shift + R.
-
- - New print option, 'Month to a Page' on A4 added by popular demand
-
- - Support for NTSC Amigas added 28 Apr 1996
