SHORT PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Personal Calendar (PC) is a Personal Information Manager (PIM) that contains a
full-featured appointment reminder and a notepad. PC displays a three-month
scrollable calendar, a running analog and digital clock, and a time-oriented
event (to-do) list and a text note list. A historical tracking (a diary) is
made of events and notes, which can all be printed. Warnings and alarms
(ticklers) tell when something is pending or overdue.
Driven by a simple flexible menu interface, Personal Calendar can be a normal
or a TSR (pop up) program. TSR use interrupts you at the earliest event. As a
TSR, an extremely small 6K byte kernel remains in conventional memory, with the
balance swapped to expanded memory or disk. TSR programming is extremely
stable and environment-sensitive. Personal Calendar also runs as a WinApp, in
DOS Merge under UNIX, in a DESQview window, on a Mac under SoftPC, or in a DOS
window under OS/2. Personal Calendar is written by Paul Munoz-Colman, a member
of the Association of Shareware Professionals.
LONG PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
PERSONAL CALENDAR is a program which graphically displays a running clock, the
current three months of calendars, and *your* appointments, on the screen. The
current month's calendar is in the center. The calendar's months can be
scrolled back or forward a month at a time or moved to *any* date in a 10,000
year range, instantly with the touch of a key. The calendar's digital and
analog clock updates every second, and displays the date and time in
international, 12- and 24-hour formats, and also shows the Julian Date.
At the bottom of the screen is a window of notes (those things you want to be
reminded of which aren't tied to a certain time), and a window of events
(those which *are* time oriented). Each time you put in an event, the calendar
day is highlighted in reverse video. The two windows of notes and events are
actually the top-most entries in lists which can also be viewed in their
entirety at a keystroke, and can be in the hundreds in size.
Many options for events are available: one-time, daily, weekly, bi- or
multi-weekly, monthly, specific week day of the month, quarterly, and yearly.
Events may be scheduled to repeat indefinitely, or to repeat a specific number
of times. Once an event or a note "becomes history" it is stored in a history
file for your later reference (and modification if you choose).
The print capability will print a list of events separated by weeks, notes
(optionally turn it off), and history (optionally turn it on), along with the
three current calendars, just perfect for folding up into your pocket or purse!
Print options work well with single sheet, or fanfold paper too. Special
support for the newest HP and IBM laser printers is also included.
PERSONAL CALENDAR is designed to work in pretty much any IBM PC clone
environment, from the 8088 to the Pentium/80586, and from MS-DOS 2.01 to 6.22.
Monochrome and color monitors alike are supported (with colors you can fit to
your taste). The program can work by itself, or will run in the background as
a TSR, taking the least possible memory and disk space when it's running (it
will swap places with whatever is in memory when it pops up, and now shrinks to
a paltry 6,000 bytes (!) when it goes back to sleep).
The program does all its screen displays in text mode, making it widely usable
by those whose systems have no graphics capabilities. In the other extreme, it
is smart enough to pop up over (and save/restore the screens of) graphics
programs of almost all types: CGA, Hercules, EGA, VGA, and MCGA!
PERSONAL CALENDAR is professionally constructed. Every screen tells you what
you can do next in the simplest one-keystroke terms, giving you logical menus.
Every new version of the program is *always* upward compatible, and every
effort is made to have your upgrades to new versions be effortless and
invisible, with *your* appointment information and option choices preserved,
*at all costs*! PERSONAL CALENDAR is a must in your file collection!
PERSONAL CALENDAR has a 30 day FREE evaluation period so you can see if you
like it. PC's author, Paul Munoz-Colman, is a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP); has been a software engineer, designer, and
programmer since 1964; and programs according to the highest professional
standards.
