- Description:
-
- Mini Scheduler was designed with the point and click user in mind.
- There is nothing complicated to learn. If you want to have a program
- start at 11:05 AM, everyday, it's no more than a few clicks of the
- mouse and it's done. If you would like your kids to know when it's
- time to shut the computer off, same thing. With the two built in
- reminder options, you can notify the computer user of anything you
- like. With the Auto Start feature, you can start any program or file
- you like at any time you like.
-
- This is the first public release of Mini Scheduler, with that in mind
- it's called 1.1b. Mini Scheduler was tested and performs as it should,
- but it's amazing at how many good suggestions for features and
- improvements come in almost immediately, making the next version
- resemble little of the first. So whether or not other programs
- that are first time releases call themselves betas, they are. For that
- reason this is called a "b" release.
-
- Additional Information:
-
- *This program was written and designed on Windows 95, It may or
- may not work an Windows NT or some other 32 bit Operating Systems.
- If you use it on an Operating System other than Windows 95 I make
- no guarantees about performance.
-
- **The screen resolution for development was 800 X 600 and was chosen
- because it is the average setting by users. The program should be
- usuable with other settings, but if you notice some fonts difficult
- to read, that is probably the reason.
-
- Last Minute:
-
- There is a slight problem with "Modifying" an auto start in Mini
- Scheduler. This problem is confined only to modifying an existing
- auto start. If you click the modify button and then change only the
- time or frequency and not the program, it gets saved as a one time
- audio reminder, and not an auto start. The solution to this is to
- treat any modification of auto start information as if it were a new
- autostart, resetting all as if it were empty. This will be corrected
- in the next release.
-
- International users.
-
- Mini Scheduler uses the dd/mm/yy date format. If you are having
- problems with it showing incorrect days of the week etc., this is why.
- You can get an updated .exe file at:
-
- Http://webwrite.com/savantguarde/minisked/mnskintl.zip
-
- Except for the date fix, and a new about screen, this file is
- exactly the same as the one included in this setup. Simply
- replace the Schedule.exe that gets installed with this setup,
- with the Schedule.exe that comes in the update. The total
- download size is 41k.
-
- Installation:
-
- Simply unzip the contents into a temporary directory and run the setup.
-
- You must be running Windows 95.
-
- Trouble Shooting:
-
- For the sake of download time and distribution size, some of the files
- that may be necessary to run this software have been intentionally left
- out of this zip. This wasn't a haphazard decision, most systems will
- already have these files, or most of them. Including them would double
- the download time. So for those of you that already have them, I am
- sure you appreciate the reduction in size, for those that don't the
- problem is easily resolved.
-
- This a list of the missing files.
-
- VB40032.dll
- VEN2232.dll
- OLEPRO32.olb
- MSVCRT20.dll
- MSVCRT40.dll
- CTL3D32.dll
-
- If you encounter any errors pertaining to these files, I have them
- zipped up at my web page. The URL is:
-
- http://webwrite.com/savantguarde/vbasic/runtime.zip
-
- If you downloaded this from msn, you can get them in the "Shareware
- Tools Library". If you downloaded this from winsite or some other
- archive, they too have these files zipped up, look for vb40032.zip or
- something of that nature. Just unzip them all into your Windows\System
- directory. The only exception may be the CTL3D32.dll, which may have
- to be placed in the Enigma directory.

-
- Support:
-
- Support is limited to email, in some cases I may be reached by phone.
- Barring any unforseen, you will have a response from me within 12 to 24
- hours, except (maybe) on weekends.
-
- WARNING: I offer full support of my software, and will do anything and
- everything to resolve any problems you may encounter, within
- reason. If you use this software in a manner that was not
- intended, on an unsupported operating system or something of
- that nature, I will try to resolve the problem. You must
- understand that this may go beyond the scope, and I reserve
- the right to terminate support at any time.
-
- Comments and Bug Reports:
-
- Even with all the testing that gets done on programs, it is always possible
- that something can still go wrong. If you experience a problem, please
- email me. Try to include as much information as you can, the events that
- lead up to the problem etc., so I can try to recreate the error and fix it.
- Any assistance you can give is greatly appreciated.
