- DESCRIPTION
- --------------
-
- Keeping track of your important dates and events has never been easier!
-
- This is a desktop utility that runs under Microsoft(R) Windows(R)
- and adds a useful feature to the Windows 95/98/NT taskbar clock.
- It allows a user to set multiple events.
- Each event can be set to go off at various intervals:
- Daily: at the daily interval specified;
- Weekly: on the specified days at the selected week interval;
- Monthly: on a specified day of the month, at a specified
- monthly interval;
- or on a particular week, on a specific day of the week,
- at a specified monthly interval; for example,
- the third Tuesday, every three months;
- Yearly: on a specified day of a specified month;
- or on a particular week, on a specific day of the week,
- of the specified month; for example,
- the first Monday in May;
-
- It allows a user to set multiple reminders, which can include custom text
- and the playing of a MIDI, RMI or WAV files.
-
- You can also specify the amount of time prior to the event to display
- the reminder.
-
- You can very simply import your old information into xReminder.
- Unlike many personal organizer programs, it is really small,
- simple to use and will work unobtrusively in the background.
-
- xReminder is Year 2000 compliant.
