- What is REMINDER?
-
- Did You ever forget your best friend's birthday? Hopefully this will
- not happen again with REMINDER.
-
- REMINDER reads a text file with your important dates and displays
- everything that lies within a user selectable range in a window.
- By default REMINDER will show your dates for the next 10 days.
- The power of this program is its simplicity.
-
- REMINDER is distributed as CardWare. If You like it, send a nice
- picture postcard.
-
-
- Installation
-
- Copy REMINDER.EXE, REMINDER.ICO and REMINDER.DAT to your Disk and
- install it on the Workplace Shell.
-
- You will also need the VROBJ.DLL 2.0a runtime library somewhere
- on your LIBPATH. This library is not included to keep the archive
- size small. It is however available from many sources free of charge.
-
-
- Operation
-
- Lick your right mouse button on the REMINDER winodw. You will see
- four options:
-
- 'Rescan' re-reads REMINDER.DAT.
- 'Edit' calls the internal reminders maintenance panel.
- 'Options' call the REMINDER's option panel.
- 'Info' displays information about REMINDER.
-
- Alt-F4 or a Double-Click on the System Menu Button will terminate
- REMINDER.
-
-
- Format of REMINDER.DAT
-
- Each date you would like to remember has to be on a separate line.
- The format of this line is year month day text. Leadings spaces are
- ignored. Example:
-
- 1994 12 20 Check savings account
-
- A zero is a wildcard. These will trigger reminders every year or month.
-
- 0 12 25 Guess what !
- 0 5 10 Volker Weber's birthday. Don't forget to send a card.
- 0 0 25 Pay next month's rent.
-
-
- Maintenance panel
-
- Pretty straightforward: add reminders, edit or remove existing
- reminders. Just click on the reminder you wish to change or
- delete and hit the appropriate button. If you edit or insert
- reminders, you will see an entry panel with four fields: year,
- month, day and text. Enter 0 (zero) if you want to say "always".
- Month 0 means every month, year 0 every year.
-
-
- Options
-
- You can set up a range of days and select your favorite date format.
- You might as well leave everything at the default.
-
- REMINDER does not perform any error checking. It simply is a 'Garbage
- in - garbage out' setup. If you specify 'from tomorrow 'til yesterday'
- that's exactly what you will get: nothing.
-
- Clicking on the reminders input field displays a files select panel,
- which is pretty much straightforward.
-
- If you painted yourself into a corner with the options panel, simply
- delete REMINDER.INI.
-
-
- De-Installation instructions
-
- I don't think you will ever need it. But, just in case:
-
- delete REMINDER.EXE
- delete REMINDER.DOC
- delete REMINDER.ICO
- delete REMINDER.DAT
- delete REMINDER.INI
-
-
- License
-
- You may copy or distribute REMINDER as long as you do not charge
- anything for it - I strongly encourage you to do so.
