DESCRIPTION
--------------
Keeping track of your important dates and times has never been easier!
xReminder is a nice tray-based program which tracks birthdays,
anniversaries, holidays, calls, meetings or any custom event.
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.
Unlike other huge and slow programs, xReminder uses very little memory,
making it quick and excitingly responsive.
Year 2000 compliant.
