- kfc.app is a free calendar program similar in functionality to the old
- 'Date' program- for those who remember that.... However, kfc is more
- powerful than I remember Date being, and it has a human-readable file
- format!
-
- For those of you who tried kfc.app in it's previous release and
- thought 'This would be a neat app, if it did more and behaved well',
- check it out.
-
- Some general features:
- kfc displays the full month's appointments and has a mini-view of the
- next and previous month's appointments.
- May load up any number of appointment files (and can be set to
- auto-load files on startup).
- Context sensitive help.
- Handles logout and powerdown gracefully.
- Hey, it's free!
-
- Some of the more obvious appointment features:
- Specify full or partial date (eg. No specific month will repeat every month).
- Specify a time (w/ or w/o repeat warnings).
- Specify a number of days to repeat.
- Specify an expiration date for repeat appointments.
- Specify a day of the week (eg. 2nd tuesday of the month).
- Specify the number of days ahead of time to give warning.
- Specify the type of warning (Panel, Mail, both, or none).
-
- kfc is currently at Version 1.0.0. kfc is very powerful, does
- everything I want it to, but not everything everyone could want. I
- will maintain kfc and distribute upgrades to the archives as they
- become practical. If you would like to see something changed/added,
- let me know. Better yet, offer to change it yourself! If you are
- interested in hacking the code, please do tell me what you're up to -
- I hate to see effort duplicated.
-
- kfc depends on the MiscKit (a lot!!). You will need MiscKit 1.5.0 or
- later to compile it. NOTE: if you try to compile kfc with a version
- of the MiscKit lower than 1.5.0 it may well compile without warning,
- but it will not function correctly due to old bugs in the MiscTime
- class.
-
- The kfc data files use a subset of the format used in the unix program
- 'remind'. remind is written by David F. Skoll and is available in
- usenet archives.
-
- kfc is being release as source code under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC
- LICENSE.
-
- Note to ftp site admin: This release should replace the previous one.
- Please delete the previous kfc.app files.
