My Calendar requires a color Macintosh running System 6.08 or later. We highly recommend System 7 or later.
Memory Requirements without graphics: Without using or editing graphics for the calendars My Calendar can run in 1000k of memory. With only a few windows open you might even be able to operate in less. Using less memory than recommended can cause program errors and the possible loss of data.
Memory Requirements using graphics: Memory requirements using graphics can vary widely. Editing and using small graphic files will require 1400k to 1800k of memory. Editing and using large graphics can require even larger amounts of memory. If you use all of the features of the program (and medium to larger graphics) then a memory partition of 2,000k to 2,400k or even larger may be necessary.
Calendars/Lists & Labels/Note Pad:
There are three main parts to My Calendar. The first is the main calendar window and all of the monthly and yearly calendar functions. The second is the Lists & Labels functions. The third is this help/note pad feature. From these three main windows most of the functions of the application can be controlled.
Installation/Default Files:
My Calendar requires certain files to be in specific locations for proper operation.
Lists & Labels
To automatically open the contact file when you click on the contact tool, it must be named "My Calendar Contacts" and be in the same folder as My Calendar. You can create a new file, enter your data and then rename the file "My Calendar Contacts" or you can modify the existing file by deleting the example records. Once the contacts window is open you can open any contacts file or you can use the Open command from the File menu to open a contact file which will then create the contacts window.
Calendars
Two files are default files for operating My Calendar: The first is the notes file. This is the file that My Calendar attempts to open if you do not choose another file in the Finder to open. This file contains the note, banner and icon information for your calendars. The default file is called "My Calendar Notes"
You can also double click on any other note file in the Finder or use the Open command in the Finder to open another note file.
The second file is the file containing the icons for your calendar. This file is named "My Calendar Icons". The latest versions of My Calendar no longer load all of the icons into the application. To select, view and print icons, this file must remain in the same folder as the application. Once you save calendars in PICT format, the icons are converted to pictures and can be printed without the icon file being present.
Backup:
Just like the dentist tells us "Only brush the teeth you want to keep", you need to make backups of the files you consider important. Most My Calendar files are small enough to backup on a floppy and keep in a secure place.
