• Capability to add notes to any date (date notes) on the calendar component
What Does It Do
The name CalCountNote (CCN) denotes the application’s three integrated components:
• Calendar - a monthly calendar with a digital clock and an hourly chime..
• Countdown - a realtime Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds countdown to the date of your choice. Similar to my Freeware program, Y2KCD, but with the important flexibility to choose the date.
• Notes - a notepad for collecting To Dos and other important ideas you want to save.
• Date Notes (notes associated with a date) are just one click away.
All three components emphasize small desktop size and easy click-to-use philosophy.
What System Software Do I Need?
CCN requires a minimum of Mac OS 7.0.
It has been tested successfully on the following configurations:
System 7.5.5 on a Mac IIci
System 8.1/8.5 on a PowerComputing PowerTower Pro 200
System 7.1 on a Mac SE
How to Install It:
The CCN folder can be located anywhere on the hard drive. If you aren't sure, just put it in the same folder as other applications.
How to Use the Components:
General
You choose which components are on the screen. So, if you only want to look at the Calendar, just close the other windows. If you Quit CCN and restart it, only the windows that were open at Quit time are opened. The general Notes and Countdown windows also operate in this manner but notes for specific dates are always closed at start-up.
Balloon Help is provided for the items in the File menu. This is a good way to get familar with the operation. (Note: Why no Balloon Help for the other menus? They are standard menus and are consistent with other Mac applications)
Calendar
• Displays a monthly calendar with push buttons that allow you to change the month and year. Buttons provide access to future and prior years and future and prior months. The following graphic shows the buttons :
• Displays the current day/time at the top of the window.
• Chime sounds hourly.
• Days until the countdown date is shown at the bottom of the calendar.
• Clicking on a date opens a note window for that specific date. Dates with notes are colorized.
Date Notes are automatically saved when the "DateNotes" window is closed or upon quiting.
(The general note option from version 1.0 is still available via the SHOWNOTES menu option)
• Clicking the countdown date portion of the window opens the "Countdown" window.
Countdown
• Displays a realtime countdown to the date of your choice. To choose a date use the "Pick Coundown Date" item from the "File" menu. If the months and years change too quickly while picking a date, holding the mouse button down will slow it down.
Note Pad (accessed via shownotes menu item)
• Notes are automatically saved when the "Notes" window is closed or upon quiting the application.
• Use the menus to cut/paste and pick your font, font size, and style.
• The FILE menu can be used to print the notes.
