- I. INTRODUCTION
-
- A. What Is CALTRV ?
-
- CALTRV is a program that produces a nicely formatted
- calendar report (Screen, Printer, or File) from Sidekick+'s
- Calendar file without invoking Sidekick+. CALTRV's three reports
- (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) give you a quick and concise view of you
- plans and appointment. This is especially helpful in your
- AUTOEXEC file to show you what is on your Calendar for the next
- few days. Also CALTRV's reports were designed to fit into a small
- notebook suitable for traveling. To invoke CALTRV just type
- CALTRV from the DOS command line or place the command CALTRV
- somewhere in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- For Help on Parameters and to find out the defaults - type:
-
- C:\>CALTRV /?
-
- Also available to CALTRV users is Resident-TaskManager.
- Resident-TaskManager allows you to integrate your task list with
- your calendar to get a comprehensive list of your daily
- activities. See the /T option described later in this document.
-
- B. CALTRV's Current Limitations & Restrictions
-
- 845 Appointments within selected time span
- 64K SK+ Record Sizes (Usually caused by a lot of repeating
- appointments or HUGE notes.
- 50 Notes per day
-
- C. !!!Warning!!!
-
- There have been a few isolated reports of corrupted SK+
- calendars. This condition is NOT caused by CALTRV (CALTRV IS READ
- ONLY!) nor is CALTRV very happy when it runs into a corrupted
- Calendar. The sequence of events that occurs is that CALTRV
- reports it is reading the appointment file, it may report it is
- processing the repeats, and the system hangs. This is NOT (99.9%
- of the time) a problem with CALTRV! If you run into this
- condition please contact me. I am trying to program around this
- condition but need one or more calendars to test with.
-
- D. Files Included on Distribution Disk
-
- The CALTRV Distribution Disk contains the following files:
-
- CALTRV.EXE - The CALTRV program
- CALTRV.DOC - This file
- CALTINST.EXE - An installation program for setting CALTRV
- Options
- README - Changes or important information not included in
- the printed documentation (CALTRV.DOC).
- REGISTER.BAT - A BATch file to print out the registration form
-
-
-
- CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 1
-
-
- to your printer (LPT1)
- REGFORM.DOC - The actual Registration Form
- PRINTDOC.BAT - A BATch file to print out this documentation
- file to your printer (LPT1)
- VENDOR.DOC - Instructions to Disk Vendors who wish to
- distribute CALTRV.
-
- Copy these files onto your disk into whatever directory you
- wish. Then, consider how you want to run CALTRV and set your
- options (See: Installation Program later in this file).
-
- E. Shareware
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
- You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
- whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
- fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
- And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
- has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-
- CALTRV is distributed as Shareware -- this means WetZoft
- Applications encourages users, subject to restrictions described
- below, to share copies of this program with friends, associates
- and bulletin boards. You may not share the registered version of
- Resident Task Manager.
-
- If you make copies of CALTRV, you must include all files in
- the original distribution file. You are not permitted to
- distribute CALTRV without this documentation.
-

- will search for the CALENDAR file "/C" in the following places:
-
- Current Directory

- in the same directory as your SK+ Calendar
- DOS Path
-
- A. Detailed Explanation Of Options
-
- 1. /B {Begin Date}
-
- /B MM/DD/YY {Begin Date} - CALTRV will start its report with the
- date specified by the user. The Date format is: MM/DD/YY.
- Month and Day must be valid 2 digit date numbers: Month (01-
- 12), Day (01->Days in Month). The default is today's
- (system) date.
-
- 2. /C {Calendar}
-
- /C filename.ext {Calendar} - This parameter is used to tell
- CALTRV what Sidekick+ APP file to use. The default is
- PERSONAL.APP. If the specified file cannot be found in the
- Current Directory CALTRV will search for the file (DOS 3.x
- and higher) in the directory where CALTRV resides and the
- DOS Path. Full Drive and Path information is accepted. **
- This is an installable option.
-
- 3. /D {Days}
-
- /D [n] {Days} - This parameter is used to tell CALTRV that you
- want "Daily" reports and how many days of calendar data you
- want to print. The valid range is 1 to 365. The default is
- 1. ** This is an installable option.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 5
-
-
- 4. /E {End Date}
-
- /E MM/DD/YY {End Date} - CALTRV will end its report with the date
- specified by the user. The Date format is: MM/DD/YY. Month
- and Day must be valid 2 digit date numbers: Month (01-12),

-
- 5. /F {File Out}
-
- /F [filename.ext] {File Out} - Optionally CALTRV can write its
- report out to a disk file. The default filename used is
- PERSONAL.RPT and will be written in the current directory.
- No checking is done to see if the file already exists so BE
- CAREFUL! If /F is specified with no other parameters the
- default Report File name is used. You can also specify the
- name of the file you want to use after the /F.
-
- Examples:
-
- CALTRV /F /D 20 Writes a 20 day report to
- PERSONAL.RPT

-
- 6. /G {Graphics}
-

- use the IBM line draw characters to print the calendar
- reports rather than standard ASCII characters.
-
- 7. /H {Help}
-
- /H {Help} - Tells CALTRV to list a short help screen for the
- user.
-

- longer lines in SK+ but the printed report will be
-
-
-
- CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 6
-
-
- truncated) 2) The printed report will show up to 15 note
- lines. If /N is specified by itself CALTRV will print out as
- much of the note as possible. If an optional number is
- provided CALTRV will limit the number of note lines printed
- to the number specified (within the limits described above).
-
- Examples:
-
- CALTRV /N Writes a 1 week report with attached notes.

- specified with no other parameters the default Task File
- name is used. You can also specify the name of the file you
- want to use after the /T.
-
- Examples:
-
- CALTRV /T /D 20 Produces a 20 day report with
- RTM.DAT
-
- CALTRV /T MYTASKS.DAT /D 20 Produces the same report with
- MYTASKS.DATA
-
- Please note that if you have a Task Due 21 Days or more from
- the starting date of the report CALTRV will not include it

-
- 12. /V {Max Video}
-
- /V {Max Video} - This option instructs CALTRV to use the maximum
- video mode available for the monitor type being used (44
- Lines EGA/50 Lines VGA). ** This is an installable option.

-
-
- CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 7
-
-
- 13. /W {Weeks}

- File
-
-
- C:\>CALTRV /c C:\SKPLUS\COMMON.APP
-
- *** Note: 1 Week is default so does not need to be specified
-
- IV. ERROR MESSAGES
-
- Listed below are error messages generated by CALTRV and possible
- explanations:
-
- *** ERROR! mm/dd/yy Invalid Begin Date Specified
-
- This message is generated when an invalid Begin Date /B is
- specified. This could be the result of invalid month or day
- values or the month or day value was specified with a single
- digit.
-
-
-
- CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 8
-
-
- *** ERROR! mm/dd/yy Invalid End Date Specified
-
- This message is generated when an invalid End Date /E is
- specified. This could be the result of invalid month or day
- values or the month or day value was specified with a single
- digit.
-
- *** Warning: End Date < Begin Date --- Begin/End Date Forced
- Equal
-
- This message is generate when the End Date is chronologically
- prior to the Begin Date.
-
- *** Warning: Appointment Limit Exceeded. nnn Appointment Records
- Skipped!
-
- CALTRV has a limit (specified earlier) on the number of
- Appointments it can store. If this limit is exceeded all
- remaining appointment records are skipped. This usually
- results in a loss of repeating appointment records. Due to the
- nature of the SK+ calendar early repeating appointments may be
- lost while later "standard" appointments will be shown.
-
- *** Warning: Max Exceptions Exceeded
-
- Repeating appointments can be excluded(deleted) on specified
- days using SK+. This is flagged in the calendar file as an
- exception to the repeat. CALTRV can track up to 30 exceptions
- per repeating appointment.
-
- *** Warning: Insufficient Memory to Process Notes
-
- CALTRV will store up to 4K bytes of note data per appointment.
- Obviously every computer system has its memory limits. If you
- use a lot of big notes you may run out of available memory.
- You may also see this message if you run CALTRV while shelled
- out of another program.
-
- *** Warning: Insufficient Memory to Process Repeating Notes
-
- Repeating notes are subject to the same memory limitations as
- standard notes discussed above.
-
- *** ERROR! SK+ Record Size Exceeded CALTRV Limit. Processing
- TERMINATED!
-
- SK+ supposedly can have very large records (2 Billion+ Bytes).
- Well CALTRV's current limit is 60K records (NOT FILE SIZE)
- within a file. Normally you shouldn't come even come close to
- this unless you have a LOT of repeating appointments or some
- VERY big notes. If this message occurs you might want to try
- deleting some of your prior years data from your calendar - it
- may help.
-
-
-
-
- CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 9
-
-
- *** ERROR! Filename Not Found or Invalid Calendar File Specified.
-
- This message is a result of CALTRV not finding the filename
- specified in the installation program or on the command line
- with the /C option. Check the spelling and Drive and Path
- information supplied.
-
- V. INSTALLATION PROGRAM
-
- CALTRV comes with a simple installation program. This
- program allows you to set some of the DEFAULTS that CALTRV uses.
- Most of these are pretty straight forward but a small explanation
- is appropriate at this point.
-
- To use the installation program all you need to do is type
- in CALTINST. CALTINST MUST be in the same directory as CALTRV and
- CALTRV must not be renamed. CALTINST allows you to alter the
- following:
-
- Field Defaults
-
- Appointment File Location PERSONAL.APP
- Default Output Disk File PERSONAL.RPT
- Report Type [Weekly]
- Days/Weeks/Months to Preview 1
- Standard Fore/Background BrWhite/Blue

- canceled and any changes will be lost.
-
- A. Default Appointment Path & Filename
-
- CALTRV's uses the default SIDEKICK PLUS Time Planner File -
- PERSONAL.APP. If you have renamed your Time Planner file change
- CALTRV's default here. The format is: d:\PATH\FILENAME.EXT. If
- you omit drive or path CALTRV will search for the Time Planner
- file using DOS 3.x defaults : Current Directory, CALTRV's
- Directory, and Path. You can always override this option with
- the /C Command Line Option.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 10
-
-
- B. Default Output Disk File Name

- default.
-
- C. Default Report Type
-
- CALTRV offers 3 Report Types - Daily, Weekly, & Monthly You
- can specify /D for Daily /W for Weekly or /M for Monthly on the
- command line. If no option is specified this default value will
- be used. Space/+/-Toggle Switches.
-
- D. Default Days/Weeks/Months to Preview
-
- CALTRV assumes you want to view the next "n" Days / Weeks /
- Months by default. "n" is in terms of the report type to the
- left. You can override this default each time you run CALTRV with
- the /D,/W,/M parameter. You may change the CALTRV default here.
-
- E. Default Screen Colors
-
- CALTRV uses 2 Basic Colors Standard Fore/Background and
- Message Fore/Background. Use the Space/+/- keys to toggle through
- the color options. The Color Sample Box shows what the current
- color selections will look like (if saved).
-
- F. Print Initialization / Termination Strings
-
- CALTRV will send Printer Initialization and Termination
- Strings when the /P parameter is specified. Enter the control
- codes appropriate for your printer. To enter a Page Eject enter
- <CtrlP> <CtrlL>. Only the <CrtlL> will display. You can enter
- multiple codes.
-
- G. Default Print Page Length
-
- CALTRV will issue a Page Eject (^L) at the end of each page.

- VI. ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS
-
- The owner of WetZoft Applications is a member of the
- Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP), an organization
-
-
-
- CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 12
-
-
- formed in April 1987 to strengthen the future of shareware (user-
- supported software) as an alternative to commercial software.
- Its members, all of whom are programmers who subscribe to a code
- of ethics, are committed to the concept of shareware as a method
- of marketing.
-
- ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works
- for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related
- problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP
- may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a
- dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
- technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
- Ombudsman at P.O. Box 5786, Bellevue, WA 98006 or send a
- Compuserve message via easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536
-
- A. The primary goals of the ASP:
-
- To inform users about shareware programs and about
- shareware as a method of distributing and marketing
- software;
-
- To encourage broader distribution of shareware through user
- groups and disk dealers who agree to identify and explain
- the nature of shareware;
-
- To assist members in marketing their software;
-
- To provide a forum through which ASP members may
- communicate, share ideas, and learn from each other; and
-
- To foster a high degree of professionalism among shareware
- authors by setting programming, marketing, and support
- standards for ASP members to follow.
