- SHORT PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
-
- Personal Calendar (PC) is a Personal Information Manager (PIM) which contains
- an appointment reminder and a notepad. PC displays a three-month scrollable
- calendar, a running analog and digital clock, and a time-oriented event (to-do)
- list and a text note list, each 300 in capacity. A modifiable historical
- tracking (diary) is made of events and notes, all printable. Warnings and
- alarms tell when something is pending or overdue (ticklers).
-
- Driven by a simple flexible menu interface, Personal Calendar can be a normal
- or a TSR (pop up) program, as you choose; TSR use interrupts you at the
- earliest event. As a TSR, an extremely small 6K byte kernel remains in DOS
- memory, with the balance swapped to EMS or disk. TSR programming is extremely
- stable and environment-sensitive. Personal Calendar also runs as a WinApp, in
- DOS Merge under UNIX, in a DESQview window, on a Mac under SoftPC, or in a DOS
- window under OS/2. Personal Calendar is written by Paul Munoz-Colman, a member
- of the Association of Shareware Professionals.

-
- LONG PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
-
- PERSONAL CALENDAR is a program which graphically displays a running clock, the
- current three months of calendars, and *your* appointments, on the screen. The
- current month's calendar is in the center. The calendar's months can be
- scrolled back or forward a month at a time or moved to *any* date in a 10,000
- year range, instantly with the touch of a key. The calendar's digital and
- analog clock updates every second, and displays the date and time in
- international, 12- and 24-hour formats, and also shows the Julian Date.
-
- At the bottom of the screen is a window of notes (those things you want to be
- reminded of which aren't tied to a certain time), and a window of events
- (those which *are* time oriented). Each time you put in an event, the calendar
- day is highlighted in reverse video. The two windows of notes and events are
- actually the top-most entries in lists which can also be viewed in their
- entirety at a keystroke, and can be in the hundreds in size.
-
- Many options for events are available: one-time, daily, weekly, bi- or
- multi-weekly, monthly, specific week day of the month, quarterly, and yearly.
- Events may be scheduled to repeat indefinitely, or to repeat a specific number
- of times. Once an event or a note "becomes history" it is stored in a history
- file for your later reference (and modification if you choose).
-
- The print capability will print a list of events separated by weeks, notes
- (optionally turn it off), and history (optionally turn it on), along with the
- three current calendars, just perfect for folding up into your pocket or purse!
- Print options work well with single sheet, or fanfold paper too. Special
- support for the newest HP and IBM laser printers is also included.
-
- PERSONAL CALENDAR is designed to work in pretty much any IBM PC clone
- environment, from the 8088 to the Pentium/80586, and from MS-DOS 2.01 to 6.00.
- Monochrome and color monitors alike are supported (with colors you can fit to
- your taste). The program can work by itself, or will run in the background as
- a TSR, taking the least possible memory and disk space when it's running (it
- will swap places with whatever is in memory when it pops up, and now shrinks to
- a paltry 6,000 bytes (!) when it goes back to sleep).
-
- The program does all its screen displays in text mode, making it widely usable
- by those whose systems have no graphics capabilities. In the other extreme, it
- is smart enough to pop up over (and save/restore the screens of) graphics
- programs of almost all types: CGA, Hercules, EGA, VGA, and MCGA!
-
- PERSONAL CALENDAR is professionally constructed. Every screen tells you what
- you can do next in the simplest one-keystroke terms, giving you logical menus.
- Every new version of the program is *always* upward compatible, and every
- effort is made to have your upgrades to new versions be effortless and
- invisible, with *your* appointment information and option choices preserved,
- *at all costs*! PERSONAL CALENDAR is a must in your file collection!
-
- PERSONAL CALENDAR has a 30 day FREE evaluation period so you can see if you
- like it. PC's author, Paul Munoz-Colman, is a member of the Association of
- Shareware Professionals (ASP); has been a software engineer, designer, and
- programmer since 1964; and programs according to the highest professional
- standards.
