- This is an ARexx program that will help you not to forget important
- events (birthdays especially...). It uses a configuration file which
- you can create and update with any ASCII editor. This file contains
- three entries separated by commas: the date of the event, the number
- of days you want to be warned before and a comment to display.
-
- When an event is due, Events opens a window, displays it and asks you
- what to do. You can ask to be reminded again next time, next week,
- next month, in any number of days or simply delete this entry.
-
- You will find further instructions in the source itself but this is
- most of it. I chose to write it in Arexx so that it can be easily
- modified by whoever wouldn't like it as it is.
-
- To use it, put the file 'Events.rexx' in your 'rexx:' directory,
- create a configuration file and name it 's:.eventsconfig', and modify
- your startup-sequence (or user-startup) by adding the following
- command:
-
- rx Events
-
-
- Have fun! Any suggestions welcome.
