In Case of Difficulty; 23 7. The End 23 New Features 24 MaxiCalendar page 1 MaxiCalendar The Maximum Calendar System 1. Overview MaxiCalendar is an appointment calendar system designed for use by those with a busy schedule who desire an organized method to keep track of meetings, appointments, and events. I created MaxiCalendar to satisfy my personal needs because no calendar system ever seemed to do things my way. None of them had the right combination of features, so I designed my own. MaxiCalendar works the way I want it. I hope you like it. The major features of MaxiCalendar are: - Automatic scheduling of meetings, appointments, and events that occur daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or annually. - Notepad for lists of "to do" items or reminders. - Month At A Glance to show time of first and last appointments for every day of the month and to highlight special events. - Print outs of your calendar in a variety of formats. - Standard holiday file. - Calculate number of days between dates. - Super easy to use with "Lotus" style menus and/or speed keys. - Independent calendars to support more than one person's schedule. - On-line, context sensitive help. - Easy way to make backups of your monthly calendars. - Finally, MaxiCalendar can be run in a memory resident or "pop-up" mode so that your calendar is always just a keystroke away. MaxiCalendar page 2 2. Restrictions on Use of MaxiCalendar 2.1 Copyright (c) Copyright Thomas J. Ernst 1987-1990 7118 Palladio Square Fort Wayne, IN 46804 (219) 432-0015 MaxiCalendar is available as "User Supported" software. User Supported means that you may use MaxiCalendar for a period of 30 days for the purpose of determining suitability for your application. To continue to use MaxiCalendar (version 3.01) after 30 days, you must submit a registration certificate and $40 registration fee (see end of this document). Registered users will advised of future releases. 2.2 Distribution Feel free to distribute MaxiCalendar to friends and associates for the purpose of a 30 day evaluation period, provided that you give them complete copies of the original unaltered program files and documentation. MaxiCalendar may NOT be sold by itself or as part of a larger system. MaxiCalendar page 3 3. Installation 3.1 List of Files Provided CAL.EXE : MaxiCalendar program CAL1.HLP - CAL18.HLP : Help files SPSCHED.DAT : Standard holiday file MAXICAL.DOC : Documentation for MaxiCalendar Only the .EXE and .HLP files are essential for operation. Even the help files can be deleted as long as you wish to forgo the on-line help. The "SPSCHED.DAT" will be created if not present. The copy of "SPSCHED.DAT" provided with MaxiCalendar contains many standard holidays. The events you schedule are added to this file. 3.2 Hard Disk To install MaxiCalendar on your hard disk, do the following: - Create a new subdirectory called "CAL" - Copy all files, listed in 3.1 above, to this new subdirectory 3.3 Floppy Disk Format a floppy diskette and copy the following files to the diskette: CAL.EXE CAL1.HLP - CAL18.HLP SPSCHED.DAT 4. Start Up 4.1 Hard Disk at 'C:' prompt enter CD\CAL (for standard version) CAL or CD\CAL (for memory resident version) CAL MEMRES 4.2 Floppy Disk Insert the MaxiCalendar disk in the default drive and enter CAL (for standard version) MaxiCalendar page 4 or CAL MEMRES (for memory resident version) 4.3 CGA Monitors and "Snow" On some systems, using a Color Graphics Adaptor (CGA), annoying scan line noise or "snow" is present when you change days and other activities. MaxiCalendar allows you to overcome this hardware problem by providing a special start up option. If you have a "snow" problem, start MaxiCalendar by entering CAL SNOW in place of "CAL" in section 4.1 or 4.2 4.4 Memory Resident Mode MaxiCalendar can be run in a memory resident or pop-up mode. This means you can be running another application (word processor, spreadsheet, database, etc.) and have MaxiCalendar loaded in the background so that it can be popped-up with a single "Hot Key". When you are finished, you can exit from MaxiCalendar and be right back in the middle of the previous application. When you start MaxiCalendar in the memory resident mode, instead of the normal start up, you get a brief message that says the program has been loaded and can be brought to life with a special hot key combination. 4.4.1 Popping-Up MaxiCalendar To pop-up MaxiCalendar, after loading as described in 4.1, simply press the hot-key combination <Alt><Tab>. MaxiCalendar will pop onto your screen be and be ready for use. When you want to go back to the previous application, exit MaxiCalendar in the normal manner (Alt X, for example). When you exit, MaxiCalendar will disappear, and you will be right back where you were when you popped-up MaxiCalendar. 4.4.2 Unloading in Memory Resident Mode Once MaxiCalendar has been loaded in the memory resident mode, it stays available until you turn-off or re-boot you system. If you want to unload the memory resident mode without re-booting, enter "Alt U". A dialog box will open to let you confirm the unloading of MaxiCalendar. If you confirm that you want to continue with the unloading, MaxiCalendar will unload itself and put you back into your application. 4.4.3 Memory Usage For this version of MaxiCalendar we are using the latest in memory management techniques to minimize the amount of memory required for MaxiCalendar. What good is a pop-up calendar if it MaxiCalendar page 5 is so big that your favorite word processor, spreadsheet or database will not fit in memory at the same time? So how much memory does MaxiCalendar need? A little less than 8K (not 80K or 160K). To achieve this performance, MaxiCalendar uses sophisticated memory swapping technology. The speed of the swap- out depends on several factors. First the basic speed of the computer you are using, the speed your hard disk, and whether you have expanded memory. During the swapping, a "Swapping in/out .." message will appear on the bottom of the screen. 4.4.4 Swap Files MaxiCalendar, in the memory resident mode, generates two temporary hidden swap files (except when you have expanded memory, see section 4.4.5 below) to swap itself and your application in and out of memory. Because these files are hidden, you won't normally see them or have any concern for them. If you end your session without unloading MaxiCalendar (see section 4.4.2 above) one of these files (SWAP1.TMP or SWAP2.TMP) will be left behind. Do not delete either of these two files while MaxiCalendar is running in the memory resident mode. Assuming you always start MaxiCalendar in the same directory, MaxiCalendar will reuse these same swap files over and over again. These files will be approximately 300K each. You should have at least 600K available on the disk drive you use to load MaxiCalendar. If sufficient space is not available, MaxiCalendar will display a message to that effect. Further, you must assure that sufficient file space remains available whenever swapping MaxiCalendar in or out. If sufficient file space is not available after MaxiCalendar is loaded, you will get the following error message: "Fatal swap error, halting system" At this point, you are forced to reboot your system, since there is not sufficient space to swap the contents of memory. 4.4.5 Optional Drive for Swap Files By default, MaxiCalendar uses the drive containing MaxiCalendar files for the swap drive. If you prefer a different drive, just specify it on the command line at start up. For example, if you have MaxiCalendar on the c: drive, but want the swap files on d: drive, enter CAL MEMRES D: 4.4.6 Expanded and Extended Memory Usage If you have expanded memory (or a expanded memory software simulator for an AT's extended memory) MaxiCalendar will detect its presence, and if enough is available, it will use it for the swap files. Because the swap speed is so fast when using MaxiCalendar page 6 expanded memory, no "Swapping in/out .." message will appear during the swap. 4.4.7 Memory Resident Mode and Floppy Disks Running the memory resident mode of MaxiCalendar from floppy disk is really not very practical (impossible on a 360K floppy drive) because of the size of the swap files and the speed of swapping. However, if you run MaxiCalendar from high density floppy disks in the memory resident mode, you must keep the MaxiCalendar floppy disk in the drive from which MaxiCalendar was loaded whenever you pop-up MaxiCalendar or exit MaxiCalendar. This is required so that MaxiCalendar can have access to the swap files. Because of the access required for the swapping of files, floppy disk users will experience considerable slower swapping. The only cures for this situation are expanded memory, a hard disk or using MaxiCalendar in the non-memory resident mode. 4.4.8 Problems in the Memory Resident Mode Memory resident programs can sometimes cause conflicts with other programs. Be certain not to unload MaxiCalendar if another memory resident program has been loaded afterwards. In some circumstances, MaxiCalendar may appear to unload from memory, but in fact may not have released the memory it used. Sometimes this happens when the current program prevents MaxiCalendar from unloading successfully. Unloading MaxiCalendar at the DOS prompt will normally avoid this problem. If, after going through the unloading process, you press the hot key combination and the swap message appears but MaxiCalendar does not pop-up, MaxiCalendar has been disabled but has not released memory. At this point, you must reboot your system to regain the memory used by MaxiCalendar. Unpredictable results occur, if you switch in MaxiCalendar in the middle of a graphics type program. MaxiCalendar may pop- up all right, but your graphics program's screen will, in all likelihood, be a mess. If you know the right key strokes to exit the graphics program without seeing the screen, you may be able to recover. MaxiCalendar, in the memory resident mode, could create problems if used on a communications network or other system exchanging real time data. If your system were in the middle of a communications exchange (e.g. downloading a file from a bulletin board) and MaxiCalendar's alarm system tried to swap in, important data might be lost. 4.5 Summary of Command Line Options All of the command line options may be used in any order and in upper or lower case. MaxiCalendar page 7 Command Line Meaning -------------------- -------------------------------- CAL -Plain MaxiCalendar. CAL SNOW -Eliminate snow on CGA monitors. CAL MEMRES -Memory resident version. CAL MEMRES D: -Memory resident, use D: for swap files. CAL SNOW MEMRES -Eliminate snow, go memory resident. CAL MEMRES SNOW D: -Eliminate snow, go memory resident, use D: for swap drive. Specifying a swap drive without also specifying MEMRES will be ignored. 4.6 MaxiCalendar and DesqView MaxiCalendar is DesqView "aware" and will operate correctly as a DesqView application, with the following precautions: a. Use the non-memory resident mode of MaxiCalendar only. b. Print outs require that MaxiCalendar be "zoomed" to the full screen to ensure proper printout of "notes". 5. Detailed Description of Features 5.1 Main Screen MaxiCalendar's main screen is divided in half to provide an Appointment Window (left side) and a Notepad (right side). Use the "Tab" key to switch between the Appointment Window and the Notepad. Enter appointments in the Appointment Window at any of the time slots. Appointments remain attached to the particular time slot. Enter notes on the Notepad and use as a mini word processor for entering memos, to-do lists, etc. Notes are not attached to a time slot and do not move when you scroll the appointment side of the screen. (see section 5.4) Press "PgDn" or "PgUp" to go to the next or previous day. See section 5.7 to see how to change date by weeks, months, or years. 5.2 Entering Appointments and Notes Use the "Tab" key to switch back and forth between the Appointment Window and the Notepad. Use the arrow keys to select the time slot or Notepad line, then simply type in the desired information. Below is an explanation of how the editing keys work in MaxiCalendar. Delete - deletes the character at the cursor position. MaxiCalendar page 8 Ctrl-Y - (Yank) deletes entire line and moves the cursor to the next line. You can not use Ctrl-Y to delete a item that was created by the Extended Schedule process described in section 5.9. Ctrl-P - (Put) puts, at the end of the line, a line that has been previously deleted (Ctrl-Y). You can use Ctrl-Y, followed by a Ctrl-P to move an entry from one place to any other place. This combination allows you to move appointments from one day to another, notes to appointments, etc. Ctrl-N - (iNsert) inserts a new line on the Notepad side of the screen. Move the current line down and all the remaining lines down on line. The last line on the screen is lost. Backspace - deletes the character before the cursor position. Ins - toggles Insert/Overwrite mode - a block cursor shows that you are in the insert mode. - a line cursor shows that you are in the overwrite mode. Arrows - Arrow keys move the cursor as desired. Home - positions cursor at start of line. End - positions cursor at line end. Ctrl-RightArrow - Move right, one word. Ctrl-LeftArrow - Move Left, one word. MaxiCalendar also supports the following "WordStar" editing keys. Ctrl-E - Same as up arrow. Ctrl-X - Same as down arrow. Ctrl-S - Same as left arrow. Ctrl-D - Same as right arrow. Ctrl-F - Same as Ctrl-RightArrow. Ctrl-A - Same as Ctrl-LeftArrow. Ctrl-G - Delete next letter. Ctrl-H - Delete last letter. Ctrl-T - Delete next word. Ctrl-W - Same as Ctrl-PgUp (see section 5.4). Ctrl-Z - Same as Ctrl-PgDn (see section 5.4). 5.3 Appointment Window, Notepad, and Word Processor Differences Appointments are attached to a particular time slot and move with the time slot when the Appointment Window is scrolled. Automatic word wrap is not supported. Unlike a word processor, lines do not move up when you delete a line of text ("Ctrl-Y"). The "backspace" key will erase the line above when it has erased the current line. MaxiCalendar page 9 5.4 Scrolling the Displayed Appointment Window MaxiCalendar allows you to schedule appointments in any time slot in the 24 hours in a given day. Depending on the time interval for appointments (default is 30 minutes, see section 5.14.3) MaxiCalendar will display different portions of the day. To see time slots not displayed, press Ctrl-PgUp or Ctrl-PgDn to scroll the Appointment Window up or down to earlier or later times. Notice that entries on the Notepad do not move as you scroll the Appointment Window. When "App't" with an up or down arrow appears at the top or bottom of the screen, there are additional appointments for this day that can be viewed by pressing Ctrl-PgUp or Ctrl-PgDn. 5.5 Escape Key The "Esc" key is used to escape or quit any activity. When entering information via one of MaxiCalendar's dialog boxes, "Esc" aborts or quits the activity that popped up the dialog box in the first place. When you are in one of MaxiCalendar's menus, "Esc" exits you from any menu level to the next higher level or back to the Appointment Window or Notepad, as appropriate. When "Esc" is pressed with no menus or dialog boxes, MaxiCalendar will switch between the appointment/note screen and the full month screen (section 5.15). 5.6 Speed Keys Speed Keys are special key combinations that accomplish actions that duplicate many of the menu item choices. (Alt C means press the "Alt" key and "C" keys at the same time) 5.6.1 Alt C - Copy Note to New Day If you want to copy a note line forward to a new day, press Alt C. The dialog box will ask how many days forward or backward you want the note on the current line to be copied. Entering a "1" means you want to copy the current note line to tomorrow, while a "2" means the day after tomorrow, or "-2" means the day before yesterday, etc. This feature is great for postponing items on your to-do list. 5.6.2 Alt D - Difference Between Dates Whenever you need to know the number of days between two dates or what is the date a certain number of days from now, Alt D is the answer. When you press Alt D, a dialog box pops up to allow you to enter: - a first and second date and have MaxiCalendar compute the difference between the dates. MaxiCalendar page 10 - a first date and the number of days from the first date and have MaxiCalendar find the corresponding second date. By using the arrow keys, you may change the first date, the second date, or the number of days. The only requirement is that the first date must be entered to start with. You may skip the second date and enter the difference in days before or after the first date and have MaxiCalendar compute the second date. The first and second dates can be exchanged by pressing Alt-E. 5.6.3 Alt H - Hide/UnHide Appointments Regularly scheduled appointments are fine when they happen as planned. But when a weekly staff meeting is cancelled because the boss is out of town, you need a way to hide that appointment for just that week. That's where "Alt H" comes to the rescue. Just put the cursor on the line that has the offending appointment and press Alt H. The appointment is cleared and an >> is placed on the left margin as a reminder that regularly scheduled appointments are being hidden for just that one time slot for that day. All appointments that were entered by one of the extended schedule options (see 5.9 below) for that day and time will not appear. Regular appointments, entered "by hand" are not affected. To unhide an appointment, just press "Alt H" again. The >> disappears and any appointments that were hidden, reappear. 5.6.4 Alt J - Jump to New Date If you need to move to a date far from where you are, Alt J provides a dialog box that lets you specify a day, month, and year to "jump to". Note that you only have to enter the items that are different, e.g. if you want to jump from May 1, 1988 to Dec 1, 1988, just enter 12 for the month and press "PgDn". 5.6.5 Alt M - Multiple Months on Screen This key combination allows you to display three months on the Notepad side of the screen. The first month will be the current month, followed by the next two months. The months displayed can be changed by using the PgUp, PgDn, and the Up and Down arrows. the Esc key will eliminate the three months when you are through. 5.6.6 Alt P - Program Information This key combination tells you what version of MaxiCalendar you have and who wrote MaxiCalendar. 5.6.7 Alt R - Repeat App't Next Line If you want to fill-in a block of time with the same information (e.g. a three hour meeting), pressing "Alt R" will copy the information in the current time slot to the next slot. MaxiCalendar page 11 5.6.8 Alt S - Save Month & Quit This key combination allows you to save all changes you may have made to your calendar and exits MaxiCalendar with no questions asked. 5.6.9 Alt T - Today (Jump to Today) When you wandered far from the current day, this combination will take you back to today's date (assuming that your system date has been set). Alt T works in both day and month displays (escape from any menus first). 5.6.10 Alt X - eXit Program This combination lets you exit from MaxiCalendar directly, but you will be prompted to save any changes not previously saved. Alt X works at all times except when you are in a dialog box or in "Help" (escape first). 5.7 Function Keys The function keys perform the following actions: 5.7.1 F1 - Help Activates the "Help" screens. Press "PgUp" or "PgDn" to look at additional "Help" screens. Pressing F1 a second time will show the "Help Index". To go back to one of the detailed screens, move the cursor with the arrow keys and then press enter. Use "Esc" to leave "Help". 5.7.2 F2 - Save Month Saves the current month file. "Save" is important to use if you have made many changes or additions. "Save" protects you from loss if your system has a problem. 5.7.3 F3 - Previous Week Moves you to the same day of the previous week. 5.7.4 F4 - Next Week Moves you to the same day of the next week. 5.7.5 F5 - Previous Month Moves you to the same date of the previous month (when moving from May 31, you will end up at Apr 30, etc) MaxiCalendar page 12 5.7.6 F6 - Next Month Moves you to the same date of the next month (when moving from May 31, you will end up at Jun 30, etc) 5.7.7 F7 - Previous Year Moves you to the same date in the preceding year. 5.7.8 F8 - Next Year Moves you to the same date in the next year. 5.7.9 F9 - Jump New Date Allows you to specify a particular date to "jump to". (see para 5.6.4 above) 5.7.10 F10- Menu Bring up MaxiCalendar's menu system. 5.7.11 Function Keys Template To help you remember what the function keys do, print out and cut out a copy of the appropriate template for your keyboard type. MaxiCalendar page 13 Standard Keyboard :------:------: :F1 :F2 : :Help :Save : : : : :------:------: :F3 :F4 : :Prev :Next : :Week :Week : :------:------: :F5 :F6 : :Prev :Next : :Month :Month : :------:------: :F7 :F8 : :Prev :Next : :Year :Year : :------:------: :F9 :F10 : :Jump :Menu : : : : :------:------: Extended Keyboard :------:------:------:------------:------:------: :F1 :F2 :F3 :F4 :F5 :F6 : :Help :Save :Prev :Next :Prev :Next : : : :Week :Week :Month :Month : :------:------:------:------------:------:------: :------:------------:------:------: :F7 :F8 :F9 :F10 : :Prev :Next :Jump :Menu : :Year :Year : : : :------:------------:------:------: 5.8 Menus MaxiCalendar's menu system is modeled after the menu-bar approach made popular by the Lotus 123 spreadsheet. The menu is activated by the "F10" key or the "\" key (back slash, not slash). Menu items are shown on the first line of the bottom two lines of the screen. The second line describes the function of the highlighted menu item on the first line. Menu items can be selected in two ways. The first method is to use the arrow keys to highlight the desired item, then press the "enter" key to select the item. The second method is to simply press the key corresponding to the first letter of the desired item. When the item is selected, one of three things happen: 1) the desired action is accomplished directly, 2) a dialog box will pop up and MaxiCalendar page 14 allow you to provide inputs, or 3) another menu will appear. Depending on the nature of the menu item, the menu will remain or disappear from the screen after the action is complete. If the menu remains, you leave it by pressing "Esc" or selecting "Quit" from the menu. 5.9 Extended Scheduling Extended Scheduling is the most exciting feature of MaxiCalendar. No more writing down all those repetitive meetings and appointments. MaxiCalendar offers you seven ways to schedule these kinds of meetings. You may store as many as 100 events for each of the scheduling options described below, except for "Annual" events you can have up to 200 events. 5.9.1 Daily Schedule a event at the same time every day. For example, lunch at 11:30 am. 5.9.2 Weekly Schedule the same event at the same time on the same day of every week. Try that Monday morning staff meeting at 9:00am. 5.9.3 BiWeekly Schedule the same event at the same time on the same day of the week, every other week. When selecting this option, you must specify whether the event occurs during the current week or the next week. MaxiCalendar will then keep track of the proper week for this event in the future. An example would be your paycheck, on Friday, every other week. 5.9.4 Monthly The monthly option is for the same event on the same day of every month. Try "Pay House Payment" on the 1st of every month. You can also enter "last" to indicate that you want the event to be scheduled for the last day of each month. MaxiCalendar will take care of the proper number of days in the month. Using "last" is particularly interesting in February, in that the event will be scheduled on February 28 in non-leap years and on February 29 in leap years. 5.9.5 OtherMon This is the "Other Monthly" schedule option. OtherMon is for something like "Garden Club Meeting" on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 7:30pm. You can also specify "last" for the particular week, e.g. "Eat Dinner with Parents" on the last Sunday of every month. MaxiCalendar page 15 5.9.6 Annual This is the first of two annual schedule options. Annual events happen just once a year. This option is for the same event on a certain date in the year. Use this option for birthdays, like "Samantha's Birthday" on June 23. For this item you specify the date in the month for the event. Again, "last" is accepted as a date input. 5.9.7 ExAnnual This is the "Extra Annual" schedule option. ExAnnual is for an event every year on a certain day and week of a single month. Try "Mother's Day" on the 2nd Sunday in May or "Memorial Day" on the last Monday in May. 5.9.8 Remove/Edit This item allows you to remove or edit any item you have scheduled using "Extended Scheduling". "Remove/Edit" produces another menu to let you select which kind of event you which to remove or edit. When you select the type of event, a dialog box pops up so that you can remove and edit previously scheduled items. You can use the arrow keys to edit each entry and change or delete each item as you need. If you make a new entry without first using an edit key, the previous entry will be erased. Below is a list of additional editing keys available: Ctrl-End : delete scheduled event PgUp : select previous event PgDn : select next event Esc : quit 5.9.9 Quit Selecting "Quit" returns you to the Appointment/Notepad screen. 5.10 Print Sometimes you must have a printed copy of your schedule to take on a trip, carry in your pocket, or to give to someone else. The print item gives you three formats for printing your calendar information. 5.10.1 Day "Day" gives you a single page copy of the day shown on the screen. The print out starts with the first hour shown on the screen and continues to the last hour specified in "HourLast" part of "ConfigPrinter", section 5.10.6.1. Notepad items are printed also. To make a handy pocket card of your day's appointments, try printing a day on a pair of perforated 3" x 5" cards, oriented in the long direction. If you don't separate MaxiCalendar page 16 them, you can print the entire day's calendar on the pair. The perforation between the cards is lined up with the vertical separator between the appointment and note side of the screen. An entire day will fit, if you use compressed type and 8 lines per inch. If you want to carry this even further, print tomorrow on the other side of the same pair of cards. 5.10.2 Multiple "Multiple" lets you print day screens just like the "Day" choice, but you can have up to 7 days side by side. The print out can look like a standard appointment book if you have wide paper and/or a printer that can print in compressed type. For example, if you set your printer for compressed type, you can fit three days side by side on 8.5 x 11 inch paper. With two pages and three days per print out, you can have a Monday through Saturday appointment calendar on two pages. In this print option notes are printed at the top of each day's appointments. The print out starts with the first hour shown on the screen and continues to the last hour specified in "HourLast" part of "ConfigPrinter", section 5.10.6.1. 5.10.3 Abbreviated If all you want to print is your appointments and notes, select "Abbreviated". A dialog box will pop up and let you enter how many days you want printed. Each day will be printed even if you have no appointments or notes on that day. If you select just one day and print on 3 X 5 cards, you will have a daily schedule card for your pocket. 5.10.4 LineFeed Selecting this item sends a carriage return to your printer, causing it to advance to the next line. 5.10.5 PageEject Selecting this item, sends a form feed character to your printer, causing it to advance to the top of the next page. 5.10.6 ConfigPrinter This item sends you to another menu level where you can configure your printer to make the best output format. 5.10.6.1 HourLast Although not really a part of configuring your printer, "HourLast" is something you will want to save along with the rest of the printer items. "HourLast" is the latest time you want printed on your "Day" and "Multiple" printouts of sections 5.10.1 and 5.10.2. MaxiCalendar page 17 5.10.6.2 LeftMargin This configuration choice lets you select the number of blank spaces before the start of the left hand margin. Values from 0 to 80 are acceptable. 5.10.6.3 BeginCodes This item allows you to send any sequence of printer control codes to your printer prior to a printout. Control codes (sometimes called escape codes) tell your printer to print in bold, in italics, in small print, to add less space between the lines, etc. For example, entering a code sequence of 27 71 puts an IBM Proprinter into its near letter quality mode. A sequence of 15 puts Epson and IBM printers into their condensed mode. As another example, a sequence of 27 48 will force an IBM printer to print 8 lines per inch. A combination of the compressed mode and the 8 lines per inch will produce very compact schedule printouts. Depending on your printer's capabilities, you can set form length, line spacing, character spacing, etc. The maximum length of setup codes is 79, including spaces between codes. All codes are assumed to be in decimal format, not hexadecimal or letter format. Check your printer manual for the necessary control codes. 5.10.6.4 ResetCodes This item allows you to send any sequence of printer control codes to your printer after a printout. These codes are useful if you desire to undo anything you set by using the BeginCodes in section 5.10.6.3. For example, suppose you use BeginCodes to set your printer in compressed mode for your calendar printout. When you finish with MaxiCalendar, your printer will still be in compressed mode which might be inconvenient for the program you run after MaxiCalendar. A "ResetCodes" sequence of 18 cancels the condensed mode on Epson and IBM printers. The maximum length of reset codes is 79, including spaces between codes. 5.10.6.5 Quit Selecting "Quit" returns you to the Appointment/Notepad screen. 5.10.7 Save (Printer Configuration) After you have entered your printer control codes and left margin, select this item to save configuration for use the next time you run MaxiCalendar. If you do not select "Save", you will lose your codes and margin when you leave MaxiCalendar. MaxiCalendar page 18 5.11 Save Saves the current month's entries to a file. Anytime you change to a new month, the old month is automatically saved in a file, if any entries or changes have been made. At no point can you lose more the changes you have made to the current month. (unless you have a disk crash and you have not made a separate backup - see paragraph 5.13) 5.12 Help This item is the same as F1 (see para 5.7.1) and provides help screens to explain MaxiCalendar's operation. 5.13 Backup You should select this item frequently (maybe once a day) so that you won't lose your valuable calendar information. As described in section 4.4.3, the "Backup" item is not available in the memory resident version. 5.13.1 Backup This item makes a copy of your month and extended schedule files. A dialog box will let you specify which floppy disk drive to use for the making the copies. Be sure to use a formatted disk. The copies are not made with the DOS backup command, but rather with the simple DOS copy command. If you have more than one user (using separate directories, see section 5.14.7), you must take care when making backups. A separate backup is needed for the calendar files in each user's directory. Use the path command to select the set of calendar files to backup, then use a separate disk for each user's calendar files. You can use the same disk if you setup separate directories on the backup disk and are careful about using DOS to select the proper directory. Save the hassle, use separate disks. 5.13.2 Restore This selection lets you copy your previously backed up files and replace any existing files. Again, you will be allowed to specify which drive to use for restoring your files. If you have more than one user, (using separate directories, see section 5.14.6) use the path command to select which user's files will be restored. 5.13.3 Quit Selecting "Quit" returns you to the Appointment/Notepad screen. MaxiCalendar page 19 5.14 Options This selection covers several miscellaneous items that allow you to set MaxiCalendar to the configuration that best suits your needs. 5.14.1 ResetTime If the on-screen clock has the wrong time, this item lets you reset the computer's system clock. On some computers, MaxiCalendar's resetting of the time may not be permanent. You may have use a special utility provided with your computer or clock/calendar board to permanently reset the time. 5.14.2 HrStart Although you can scroll the Appointment Window to show any block of time, you probably want to decide what should be the hour that normally starts each day. Selecting "HrStart" lets you make this decision. To make this a permanent change, be sure to select "Save" on this option menu. (see 5.14.6) 5.14.3 Interval "Int" allows you to select the time interval between appointments as displayed on the screen. The default value is 30 minutes. Optional time intervals are 10, 15, 20, 30, and 60 minutes. Any time you change the time interval, you may alter the time for a previous appointment. For example, suppose you had previously selected 15 minute intervals and had entered an appointment for 6:15pm. If later you select 30 minute intervals, there would not be a time slot for your 6:15pm appointment. MaxiCalendar would move that 6:15pm appointment to the next available time slot, which would be 6:30pm. This change is not reversible, in that if you later switch back to 15 minute intervals, the original 6:15pm appointment will remain at 6:30pm. Obviously, you should make a decision on the best time interval for your use and stick with it. If you do decide to make a change, you may need to adjust some of your appointments. To make this a permanent change, be sure to select "Save" on this option menu. (see 5.14.6) 5.14.4 Civilian Time If you like a "Civilian" (non 24 hour) time display, select this item. The appointment time slots will be shown in different colors for am and pm times. To make this a permanent change be sure to select "Save" on this option menu. (see 5.14.6) 5.14.5 Military Time If you like a "Military" or 24 hour time format, select this option. To make this a permanent change be sure to select "Save" on this option menu. (see 5.14.6) MaxiCalendar page 20 5.14.6 Save This item is selected to save any changes you have made in the above "Options" items. A file named "cal.cfg" is created to store your preferences. This file is read every time you start MaxiCalendar. Note, this file is not necessary for operation of MaxiCalendar. If the file doesn't exist, a new one is created whenever you save your preferred configuration. 5.14.7 Path "Path" allows you to specify a DOS path other than the one from which you started MaxiCalendar. For a single user there is no need to use this option. However, if two or more people are using MaxiCalendar on the same computer, you can keep their calendar files in separate directories. For example, if Bob and Sue want to have separate calendars on a hard disk system (assuming you are running MaxiCalendar from a directory called CAL), first create two sub-directories \CAL\BOB and \CAL\SUE (see DOS manual on creating sub-directories). Then use the path option to specify whose directory should be used. Additionally, you can use the path option to specify that a floppy disk is to be used for the source of calendar files. The current path is shown in the upper left corner of your screen and printouts. 5.14.8 NewColors This choice allows you to customize the screen colors for MaxiCalendar. If you find a combination that you like, be sure to save it with the "Save" choice in the "Options" menu. 5.14.9 Lines This choice allows you to toggle between 43 or 50 lines of display and the standard 25 lines if you have an enhanced graphics adapter (EGA) or a video graphics array (VGA) and appropriate monitor. (Note: the lower section of theNotepad is not available for use in the EGA/VGA mode) 5.14.10 Quit Selecting "Quit" returns you to the Appointment/Notepad screen. 5.15 Month (Entire Month at a Glance) In order to give you a quick look at your schedule for an entire month, select this item. All the day and date changing keys work in this view of a month. MaxiCalendar page 21 5.15.1 Special Appointments and Notes Sometimes you want to look at an entire month and have a way to see if you have anything really important scheduled. To make "special" events show up on the month screen, you must first enter and mark them as "special". Any item (appointment, note, extended schedule event) that begins with an "*" is considered "special". Because of space limitations on the month screen, only the first seven letters (not counting the "*") of the special item are shown. Additionally, only two items are displayed for a given day. As an example, if you enter "*T's Birthday" as an Annual event, "T's Bir" will show up on the month screen when you press "*" to ask for a display of asterisked events. Obviously, you need to be a bit creative when you designate something to be a "special event". 5.15.2 First and Last Appointments Besides showing you an entire month, you can see when your first and last appointments start on all days in the month. Press "F" for first appointments and "L" for last appointments. 5.16 Jump This menu item functions the same as Alt J (see para 5.6.4) and allows you to "Jump" to a date of your choice. 5.17 CopyNote This menu item functions the same as Alt C (see para 5.6.1) and lets you copy notes forward to another day. 5.18 Alarms MaxiCalendar has an alarm clock that can be activated when you select "Alarms". You can set as many as 10 alarms to ring any time of the day or night. Caution: The alarms will only ring when you have MaxiCalendar in operation. If you leave MaxiCalendar, the alarms won't ring unless you are running MaxiCalendar in the memory resident mode described in 4.4. If you save the alarm settings, they will be active the next time you start MaxiCalendar. 5.18.1 Turn-On Alarms With this choice, you have the opportunity to turn on any of the 10 alarms. You specify the hour and minute that you desire and a message you want displayed when the alarm goes off. When the time comes, the message will be displayed and the alarm will ring for up to one minute. After one minute, the alarm will stop, but the message will remain on the screen. Press any key to silence the alarm and/or remove the message from the screen. If you are in the memory resident mode but MaxiCalendar has been swapped out (see section 4.4) and an alarm is ready to go off, MaxiCalendar page 22 MaxiCalendar will automatically swap in the alarm system and display your message. If MaxiCalendar is swapped in automatically, pressing the escape key will silence the alarm and immediately unload MaxiCalendar, while pressing any other key will give you full access to MaxiCalendar. Unless you remove an alarm setting, it will ring again, 24 hours later. If you reset the computer clock (using the DOS time function or some other utility program) while MaxiCalendar is swapped out, the alarm system may not function properly. In this case, unload MaxiCalendar (see section 4.4.2), then reload, so that MaxiCalendar can adjust to the new time. 5.18.2 Remove/Edit Alarms This choice lets you remove or edit any of the previously entered alarms. You may remove or edit any or all of the alarms. However, the alarms are not permanently removed or edited unless you save the alarms. "Remove/Edit Alarms" uses the same additional editing keys as described in section 5.9.8. 5.18.3 Save Alarm The "Save Alarm" choice lets you save the current set of alarms so that the next time you enter MaxiCalendar, the will again be active. When you save the alarm times, a special file called "CAL.ALM" is created. 5.18.4 Quit Selecting "Quit" returns you to the Appointment/Notepad screen. 5.19 Xit This menu item provides the means to exit MaxiCalendar and return to DOS. Xit performs the same function as Alt-X. 5.20 Time Entries Time input is very flexible in MaxiCalendar. The following formats can be used for any time entry: 8 = 8:00am 1p = 1:00pm 13:00 = 1:00pm 11 = 11:00am 9:00a = 9:00am 7:30p = 7:30pm MaxiCalendar page 23 Pm = pm = Pm = pM = PM 6. In Case of Difficulty; Under normal circumstances, MaxiCalendar should work with no problems, however in some special situations problems can develop. The following situations should be avoided: Do not start MaxiCalendar from any directory other than the one which contains the MaxiCalendar files. If you do this, MaxiCalendar will not be able to find the help files, the configuration file, and the alarm file. Without the configuration file, MaxiCalendar won't know where to find your monthly calendar files. Do not have calendar files (e.g. 1990-01.CAL) in another directory (i.e. a directory different that the one containing MaxiCalendar's files), if that directory is included in the DOS's APPEND command. Under unusual circumstances, this situation can cause an error. 7. The End If you have read this far, you are sure to be a MaxiCalendar expert. If you have any suggestions for improving MaxiCalendar, please send them along with your registration fee and certificate.
