SkedEzy Pro - Intelligent Windows Scheduler
-------------------------------------------
Ideal for...
1) Routine car maintenance tasks that should be done at regular
intervals e.g. checking oil level. Save money by doing only what
needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Go through your car
manual just once, setting up each task in SkedEzy Pro and specifying
how often it should come to your attention.
2) Routine tasks around the home, that need to be done every few
days, or every few weeks. Really quite a lot when you think about
it! For example, mow the lawn, wash the sheets, dusting,
vaccuuming, check pot plants, pay the rent, even longer term things
like carpet cleaning, repainting etc. Plus single events at any
time, such as parties, sports events etc etc.
3) Routine tasks at work such as meetings, banking, computer backups
etc.
NOTE: SkedEzy Pro may be uninstalled by simply deleting the directory
into which you installed it. Unless you specify otherwise (during
installation), this directory will be C:\skedpro
This unique scheduler program for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 is most
useful when set up for automatic daily usage. If you are not familiar
with the Startup folder, instructions are included in Help.
This type of program is designed to pop up reminder messages either just
once, or at regular intervals. For example, a message to water the
garden might be scheduled to appear at 5pm, every 3 days. Events that
fall due when the PC is turned off will pop up immediately after you
next turn on the PC, so no messages are missed. The number of messages
you can schedule is only limited by the available memory - for most
PCs these days this would mean hundreds or possibly thousands of
messages!
This is a high quality piece of software - a lot of effort was put into
making it very tolerant of how dates, times and recurrence periods can be
entered, and also into making it simple to use and very flexible.
The basic idea is that you just type in the first thing that comes to
mind, hence dates like "on sept. 8th" or even "3 days time" are accepted.
The 'events' (i.e. messages or file runs) that are scheduled can be
displayed in a list, or printed out if required. Users often comment that
SkedEzy is the best program of its type that they have come across.
---------------------------------------------
Although SkedEzy Pro is a reliable program, you should make a copy of
skedezy.evs on a floppy disk at least once a week (preferably once a
day) if you intend storing important information with it. Then your
info is safe no matter what happens.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Since SkedEzy Pro always runs minimized (i.e. as an
icon), nothing seems to happen when you click its button on
the task bar! All you have to do is use the RIGHT mouse button. This
brings up the SkedEzy Pro main menu.
TOPline Software is of course on the World Wide Web. Be sure to take a
look sometime, all products are described and available for download.
Also, a link to the Public Software Library is available, for easy
registration. You can find the page at:
http://www.coredcs.com/~TOPline
Newly registered users are sent a password which lets them download the
registered version immediately from the Website.
Support Policy
---------------
Registered users are entitled to full support via email, CIS, phone and
post for 12 months after the date of registration. If a major bug is
uncovered, it will be dealt with immediately. A fixed version will then
be made available to all (online) registered users via password protected
download from the Web site. Minor problems (and good suggestions) will
be added to a list and looked at with the next revision of the program.
TOPline Software will attempt to answer all queries promptly.

===== Installation =====================================
WINDOWS 95:
-----------
The following is a step-by-step guide to installing SkedEzy Pro for
instant access.
1. Place the SkedEzy Pro disk in the 3.5" floppy drive. (This will
probably be drive A)
2. Double click on the 'My Computer' icon on the Windows desktop. (If
there is no such icon, run My Computer some other way, getting help
from someone else if necessary.)
3. Double click on the 3.5" floppy drive icon.
4. Double click on 'Install' (this has a blue icon), and follow the
instructions given by the installation program.
5. When the installation program has finished, there will be an open
folder on the screen, titled 'SkedEzy Pro'. It contains some icons.
6. Position the cursor over the red and yellow desk calendar icon, hold
down the RIGHT mouse button, then drag the icon into a corner of the
Windows desktop. Release the button.
7. When you release the button, a menu will pop up. Select 'Create
shortcut here', and click the left mouse button.
At this point, you can start SkedEzy Pro by double clicking on this icon.
When it appears on the Windows task bar, in the system tray, you can
access SkedEzy Pro's commands by clicking the RIGHT mouse button. For
example, to close it down, you would position the cursor over the
SkedEzy Pro icon on the task bar, click the right mouse button, select
'Close', and then click the left mouse button. NOTE: SkedEzy Pro never
appears as a window.
It is HIGHLY recommended that you set SkedEzy Pro up for automatic daily
running. This way, you do not have to remember to start SkedEzy Pro up or
close it down - it will always be there on the task bar while you use
your computer.
For automatic daily running, complete steps 1 to 7 above, then do the
following:
8. Press the Start button, select Programs, then click on Windows
Explorer. (If you cannot do this, your start menu has been customized.
Getting help from someone else if necessary, find Windows Explorer and
run it.)
9. In Windows Explorer, click the plus signs next to the Windows folder,
the Start Menu folder, and then the Programs folder.
10. Holding down the RIGHT mouse button, drag the SkedEzy Pro icon from
the Windows desktop to the StartUp folder, then release the button.
11. After releasing the button, a menu pops up. Select 'Create shortcut
here' and click the left mouse button.
