Description

 Do you keep forgetting about  birthdays, anniversaries and other important
 events?

 Well, there are plenty of public  domain  products on the market that will
 prevent that from happening.

 But, do you also want to
 - keep track of the remaining days to important events?
 - keep track of the days since important events happened?
 - automatically start certain programs depending on the date and time?
 - be reminded every # day (e.g. every 14th day)?
 - be reminded # days before or after the event
 - be reminded once a day, every time  you  boot, before or after a certain
   date, before or after a certain hour or minute?
 - be reminded about events until you acknowledge them?
 - be reminded with requesters, alerts or  practically anything that can be
   displayed on an Amiga-monitor?
 - display unlimited  lines  of  text  in  the  same  requester/alert (only
   limited by the screen's resolution and memory)
 - group different events in the same requester or alert?
 - keep a simple database of the birthdays of family and friends?
 - let your Amiga keep track of how  old  people are by insterting the date
   of birth in the middle of the string  where you want to display the age?
   (E.g. the text "Adam is {080570}  years  old today" will be displayed as
   "Adam is 23 years old today".)
 - make advanced events which are  displayed  for example after 21:00 every
   3rd day the  first  7  days  of  every  2nd month the next 4 years?
 - combine all of the attributes mentioned above in the same event?
 - enter these events in an easy-to-use environment and without the need of
   programming-knowledge, just by entering the  desired text and pressing a
   few buttons?

 Well, then you will  find  this  program  extremely useful, because Recall
 will do exactly  that  for  you!   It  is  an easy-to-use, intuition-based
 utility for the absent-minded!

Copyrights

 This application is freely  redistributable as  long as the archive is not
 modified in any way.

 Think twice before you:
 - SPREAD or DELETE parts of this  program.   Some people actually read the
   docs (you are, at  the   moment!).   All  of  the  following  files  and
   their icons  MUST be in the archive:

   Install/Install       : Installer-script for harddrive-users
   Unstall/Unstall       : Removes the application from a system
   Recall                : Main program

   Locale  (dir)         : Contains the language catalogs
   Scripts (dir)         : Various scripts for processing data.

 - CRUNCH this program and then spread  it.   Some decrunchers use a lot of
   memory and not all of the users have all that memory available!  Most of
   the Amiga-owners dislike colorcycling pointers  and screens, and not all
   crunchers have available decrunchers, so  the  user  may not be able  to
   decrunch the program if she/he wants to!
 - SELL or INCLUDE this in a commercial package!  This program is dedicated
   to the Amiga society and is placed  in the Public Domain!  If you charge
   more than a reasonable copy  fee  for  this  package, people are sure to
   find out about you sooner or later,  and  that will certainly be the end
   for you in the Amiga-scene!
 - BUY this program.  You have  been  swindled!   If you actually read this
   text, the seller must  be  pretty  dumb  not  removing  this text before
   selling it to you (he  probably  assumes  you're just another lamer that
   can't read!).
 - USE this program.  In spite of  several  test,  no warranty is made that
   there's no more bugs in this application.   You use this program at your
   own risks!  I will not under any circumstances be liable for any damage,
   direct or indirect,  resulting  of  the  use  of  any  programs  in this
   package.  If Recall forgot to remind you about some events, DO NOT BLAME
   ME - if you were not so absent-minded you wouldn't be needing an utility
   like this in the first place:  You  can  either trust Recall and keep on
   with your life, or quit using Recall and start to remember things...
 - READ this document.  I will not  be  liable for any damage this document
   may have caused you; english is not  my native language and I guess this
   document  is full of misspellings and misunderstandings.  You can either
   live with it and  keep on  reading,  run  this through a spellchecker or
   stop  reading.   The  program  is  quite   easy  to  use  and  needs  no
   explanations.
 - LIKE this program.  You may want to  send  me a postcard if you do, just
   telling me how much you like it.   Really,  I wouldn't mind that at all,
   but it is no obligation.  You may  also  drop me a note on the internet.
   The address will be at the end of this document.


Installing

 I am not going to go through   the  whole installation process here, since
 most of  you  are  already   familiar  with  Commodore's  Installer.  Just
 doubleclick on the  install-icon,  and  the  program  will  install itself
 automatically (just answer a few questions...).

 Beginning with version 2.1,  the  installation-script  is localized.  Just
 click on the preferred language  and  the  installation and it's questions
 will be given in that language.

 The script  needs  Commodore's  'Amiga  Application  Installation Utility'
 (Installer) in order to run.  This is not included in this package because
 it is copyrighted to Commodore.   The  Installer  utility  is shipped with
 WB2.1 and higher.

 If not available, please copy the program and its icon as follows:
 Recall                -> SYS:WBStartup/
 Prefs/Recall          -> SYS:Prefs/
 Tools/RecallConverter -> SYS:Tools/
 Recall.prefs          -> ENVARC: and ENV:
 Docs/<guide files>    -> HELP:english/
 Unstall               -> Wherever you like...

 If you do not install Recall  and  ReConvert to the listed drawers, Recall
 Preferences will not be able to  find  them,  and  you will not be able to
 test projects nor import and export projects.

 If you do not install the guide  files  to the listed drawer, you will not
 be able to use on-line help from Recall Preferences or ReConvert.


Unstalling

 Doubleclicking on the icon  named  UnstallMe!,  will  execute  a script to
 remove the  Recall  package  from  your  harddisk  (all  actions  must  be
 confirmed!).


Running the programs

 Both programs may be run from Shell or from Workbench by doubleclicking on
 their icons.

 An absent-minded person like yourself,  is  also  capable of forgetting to
 start Recall every day, so  the   most   secure   way of being reminded of
 events, is to copy Recall to your SYS:WBStartup drawer.   This way it will
 check for events every time you boot your machine.

 If Recall is run with  no  parameters  it  will automatically look for the
 project "ENVARC:Recall.prefs".  Any parameters will override this.

 "Recall test.script"  forces  Recall  to  open  the  script  "test.script"
 instead of "ENVARC:Recall.prefs".


Using Recall Preferences

 This is where all  the  work  is  done   and   where  the  you create your
 customized project.  The window of Recall  Preferences is dominated by two
 groups of objects, each group containing  a listview.  The listview in the
 Event-group contains all the events you want  to be reminded of, while the
 listview in the Text-group will contain the event's textlines or commands.

 The program can either be controlled  by  mouse or keyboard.  Most gadgets
 have an underlined character, meaning that a  hit on this character on the
 keyboard are equal to clicking  on  the  button  with  the mouse.  The two
 Delete-gadgets do not have  short-cuts,  to  prevent you from accidentally
 delete an event or a text.   They  may however be controlled from keyboard
 by cycling you through the gadgets  with  TAB  until the desired gadget is
 highlighted and then pressing return.  Even  the listviews may be control-
 led from keyboard.  Whenever a  listview's  stringgadget is active you may
 select the previous or next item in the list by using the arrow buttons.

Creating an event

 You can add an event  to  the  list  by  clicking  on the Add-gadget.  The
 stringgadget above it will become activated, letting you enter the name of
 the event.  The length  of  the  name  is  limited  to 30 characters.  The
 event's name should be short,  consistent  and  describe the type of event
 well.  If you have many events  which  reminds you about e.g. birthdays, a
 good name for all these events could  be 'Birthday: <name>', as this would
 provide a better visualization of the  data  and  make it a lot easier for
 you to seek through the list of events.

 The name you have entered, will  only  be  added  to the list if you press
 return.  Failing to do so,  will  cancel  the  creation  of the new event.
 Pressing return will add the new event at  the bottom of the list.  If the
 bottom of the list  is  not  showing,  it  will  automatically jump to the
 bottom to show the  new  event.   The  new  event  will  be highlighted to
 indicate that it is the current active event.

 The number of events are only limited by the available memory.


Duplicate an event

 You can duplicate an event by selecting  the desired event and clicking on
 the Copy-gadget.  All attributes as  well  as  all  textlines of the event
 will be duplicated.  The new event will appear just below the source.  The
 stringgadget will be  activated,  allowing  you  change  the  name  of the
 destination event.  The destination is highlighted  to indicate that it is
 the current active event.


Delete an event

 You can delete an event by selecting the desired event and clicking on the
 Delete-gadget.  All attributes as well as  all textlines of the event will
 be deleted.  The next event  in  the  list  will become the current active
 event.

 If the project  has  been  previously  saved,   the  deleted  event can be
 restored by selecting Edit->Last saved


Change the placement of an event

 When running a project, the events  will  be  run  in priority from top to
 bottom unless the menu-item  'Group  events?'  is  checked.   So moving an
 event up, will  mean  that  it  will  be  shown  earlier  when running the
 project.

 Up
 Moves the current active event up one position.

 Down
 Moves the current active event down one position.

 Top
 Moves the current active event to the beginning of the list.

 Bottom
 Moves the current active event to the end of the list.


 See also Settings->Group Events?


Purge Events

 When the same project is used for a considerable period of time, it may at
 the end contain several events which  are  expired or said in other words,
 contain events which will never be displayed.  So instead of going through
 the entire list, looking for events  that  is no longer needed, you simply
 click on the  Purge-gadget,  and  the  machine  will  do  the checking and
 deleting for you!


 See also Settings->AutoDelete events?


Sorting the list of events

 There are three methods of organizing the  list of events.  You can either
 sort the events alphabetically, sort  them  by  date  or by changing their
 placement individually.

 The list of events will  be  sorted  whenever clicking on the Sort-gadget.
 The routine used, is determined by the settings in the settings-menu.

 When sorting by date, the events with no  date at all will be appearing at
 the beginning of the list, then the  events with one or more components of
 the date replaced by '**' will  appear  and  last, the events with a fixed
 date.


 See also Settings->Sort by


Setting date an event

 The date of an event is now set from a calendar, very much set up like the
 Commodore's own Time Preferences.  This calendar can be opened by pressing
 the Edit-button.

 The textwindow on the left to the Edit-button will always show the date of
 the event.  When no date is set,  the  date  will be substituted by a text
 saying 'Every day', and when no time  is set, the time will be substituted
 by a text saying  'All  day'.   When  a  component  of  the  date is of no
 importance, it will be displayed  as  two  or  more  '*', meaning that any
 value will satisfy.

 To set the day of an event,  simply  click  on one the numbered gadgets in
 the calendar-window.  The selected day  will  be highlighted and displayed
 in the date field.  If you want the event to appear on any day, please set
 the day to '0', zero.

 The month is  set  by  cycling  through  the  month-cyclegadget  until the
 desired month is activated.  If you want  the event to appear every month,
 please select the item 'Any month'.

 NOTE! that selecting 'Any month',  will  mean  the  CURRENT MONTH, thus an
 event set to BEFORE '01/**/****' will never be displayed!  If you want the
 event to be shown x days before the  1st  of every month, please set it up
 like this: x-1 days before the last day in the month or i.e. after 25th.

 The year of the event  is  set  by  entering   the  desired  year  in  the
 integer-gadget  next  to  the  month-cyclegadget.   If  you want the event
 to  appear every year,  enter  a  zero  or  nothing.   Entering  a  number
 which length is less than  four,  will  cause  the event to  be  displayed
 each year the given year  match  with  the  current year.  In other words,
 entering year='3' (displayed as '***3') will  display the event every year
 that ends with '3'.

          Set the time of an event
          Setting the time and date to now
          Clearing the date and time


Setting the time of an event

 Setting the time is just as simple  as  setting the time under Commodore's
 Time Preferences.  Just  drag  the  sliders  to  the  desired  level.  The
 selected hour and minutes will be  shown  in the main window.  Setting any
 of the sliders to  the  bottom  level  will  replace  its value with '**',
 meaning that any hour/minute will do.


 See also How to tune the date and time


Tuning the date and time

 It may be times when you do  not  want  the events to appear on a specific
 date or time, but rather before or  after.  This can easily be achieved by
 setting the cycle-gadgets at the top of  both date- and time-groups in the
 calendar.  The default value is 'Exact'.

 Exact
 The event will appear ONLY at the given  date or time.  If you do not turn
 your machine on that day, you will never see the event!

 Before
 The event will  appear  only  BEFORE   the  given  date  or  time.  If the
 selected date is '07.**.1993', the event  will  appear on the first 6 days
 every month during 1993.  If the selected  time is '11:00', the event will
 appear between '00:00' and (not including) '11:00'.

 After
 The event will  appear  only   AFTER   the  given  date  or  time.  If the
 selected date is  '07.06.1993',  the  event  will  appear  every  day from
 '08.06.1993' to eternity.  If the selected time is '11:00', the event will
 appear between '11:01' and (including) '23:59'.


 See also Setting the number of days before or after
          Making a repeating event



Setting the number of days before or after

 Allows the user to  set   the  interval  of  days, and the event will only
 be displayed during  that   interval.    Let's  say  the  date  is  set to
 '07.**.1993', days set to   value   '2'  and  the  cyclebutton selected is
 Before, the date  will   only  be displayed on the 5th and 6th every month
 during 1993, in other  words  two days before the 7th day of any month.

 This gadget becomes available  only  when  the  date  is  set to Before or
 After.


Making repeating events

 Allows the user to set the interval of repeating days.  If for example the
 field contains the  number '14',  the  event  will be displayed every 14th
 day before/after the specified date.

 This gadget becomes available  only  when  the  date  is  set to Before or
 After.

 Another way of making a repeat event, is  of course by setting one or more
 of the date's components to a zero (indicated by '**' in the date).


 See also Setting the date of an event
          Setting the time of an event



Setting the date and time to current values

 By pressing the gadget 'Now', the date  and  time of the event will be set
 to the current date and time.


Clearing the date and time of an event

 By pressing the gadget 'Clear', the  date  and  time of the selected event
 will be reset to default values, meaning that the event will appear "Every
 day - All day".



Selecting the type of event

 In what way an event will appear, is  determined by which type of event is
 set for that event.  You may select between these modes:

 Requester
 All texts will be  displayed  in  a  standard requester with an OK-button.
 Selecting  OK will tell Recall to proceed to the next event.

 If the menu-item  'Settings->Confirm  requesters?'  is  checked,  the  re-
 quester  will  also  have  a  Cancel-button.   Selecting  Cancel will tell
 Recall not to show the event more that day.

 If the menu-item 'Postpone  requesters?'  is  checked,  the requester will
 also have a 'Postpone'-button.   Selecting  this  button will postpone the
 event until next time you run Recall, even  if the event is of Daily type!
 It will keep reminding you until you press 'OK' or 'Cancel'.

 The maximum number of  lines  which  may  be  displayed is only limited by
 the screens resolution and font.   The requester will automatically adjust
 to the font used by your system.


 Alert
 All texts will be displayed  using  a  standard  RECOVERY ALERT. The alert
 will be opened on a 640*200 screen  on  a NTSC-machine or a 640*256 screen
 on a PAL-machine.   The  font used will always be Topaz8. The frame of the
 alert will be automatically adjusted  to  fit  the number of  lines  shown
 and  all   lines   will   be  centred.   Pressing  either  left  or  right
 mousebutton will continue.  If 'Settings->Confirm alerts?' is checked, the
 alert will contain a  line  at  the  bottom  of  the alert announcing that
 pressing the  left  mousebutton  will  continue  and  pressing  the  right
 mousebutton will cancel the event.  Selecting  cancel will tell Recall not
 to show the event more that day.


 Execute
 All texts will be  run  as  if  they  were  typed  from Shell.  If several
 programs is requested, they  will  be   run   after each other in priority
 from top to bottom.

 Running larger batch-programs can  be   done   easily by entering "execute
 <filename>".  Recall also  accepts  remarks   and   'execute  <filename> ;
 remark' will work without problems.

 Instead of typing in  your  commands,  you  can  select  them from a file-
 requester.  Just click on the  GetFile-gadget  to  the left of the string-
 gadget and select the file you want to run.


 See also How often the event will be displayed
          Selecting a command from a filerequester


Selecting a command from a filerequester

 Instead of typing in the programs you want to execute from Recall, you can
 simply click on  the  GetFile-gadget  to  the  left  of  the stringgadget.
 Clicking this button will bring up a filerequester, allowing you to select
 the command you want to run.  The name of the selected file will be copied
 to the stringgadget and the cursor  will  be  positioned at the end of the
 string, allowing you to enter any parameters.


Selecting how often the event will be displayed

 The Show-cyclegadget determines how often  the event will appear.  Several
 options are available:

 Always
 The event will be displayed every time Recall is run.

 Daily
 The event will only be run the first time Recall is run that day, in other
 words; only once a day.

 Never
 The event will never  be  displayed.   Useful  if  you want to temporarily
 prevent an event of being displayed.


Setting the method of calculation

 This cycle-gadget determines which  method  will  be used when calculating
 fields.  If the texts do not contain  any fields, this cycle-gadget has no
 effect.

 Years
 This method will return the  number of  years between the current date and
 the date in the date field.

 If the text of the event is  "Adam  is {080570} years and Dick is {310165}
 years old today", it will  be  displayed  as  (assuming the year is 1993):
 "Adam is 23 and Dick 28 years old today".

 When this method is used, it is  not  necessary to enter the whole date in
 the calculation fields.  "Adam  is  {****70}  years  and  Dick is {****65}
 years old today'   will  result  in  the  same  message.   It is, however,
 advisable to always enter the full date in events.


 Days
 This method will return  the  number  of days between the current date and
 the date of calculation field.

 Text containing  "{020693}  days  to   my   exam"  will  for   example  be
 displayed as "4 days to my exam".

 NOTE!  Recall will  always  assume  that  the  given  year  is  in the 20.
 century.  Attempting to calculate  the  remaining  days  to year 2000 will
 fail, since {010100} will be interpreted as 01.Jan.1900... :-(


 See also Adding text to an event


Adding text to an event

 You can add text to  an  event  by  selecting the Add-gadget.  The string-
 gadget will be activated, allowing  you  to  enter  the desired text.  The
 length of the text is limited  to  255  characters.   The text will not be
 added to the list of texts until you  press the return key.  Failing to do
 so, will cancel the creation of the new text.  Although the length of text
 can be as much as 255 character,  you  should keep in mind that alerts and
 requesters with  standard  Topaz8.font  are  limited  to  a  width  of  77
 characters.

 The lines of text will either  be  displayed  in  a requester or alert, or
 they will be executed, depending which  type  of event you are adding text
 to.

 Another nice feature of  Recall,  is  that  you  can  include a date field
 within  the  textlines.   These  fields  will  be  calculated  during  the
 execution of a project and the  resulting  value will be displayed instead
 of the date field.  There is no limit  to the number of fields in one line
 of text.  The format of the date  field  is {DDMMYY} and MUST  be  exactly
 in that format!  Notice the bracket parenthesis surrounding the date field
 - they can not be omitted!  A  few  examples to clarify (assuming the date
 is 17.11.93), the original on the  left  and  the displayed outcome to the
 right:

 "I am {080570} years old"                 -> "I am 23 years old"
 "{120294} days left to the Olympic Games" -> "87 days left to the..."

 Notice how the  first  line  displays  the  years,  while  the second line
 displays the number of days.  The  result  of the date field is determined
 of which method of calculation is selected.

Duplicating a textline

 You may duplicate a textline by selecting the desired text and clicking on
 the Copy-gadget.  The destination will appear just below the source and it
 will be highlighted to indicate  that  it  is the current active textline.
 The stringgadget will be activated, allowing you to change the text.


Deleting a textline

 You may delete any textline by selecting  the desired text and clicking on
 the Delete-gadget.


Changing the placement of a textline

 The list of texts may be organized in either two ways, by sorting the list
 alphabetically or by individually change each line's position.

 Up
 Moves the current active text up one position.

 Down
 Moves the current active text down one position.

Sort the list of texts

 You can sort  the  list  alphabetically  by  clicking  on the Sort-gadget,
 changing  the order in which they will be displayed.


 See also Changing the placement of a textline


Saving the project and quitting

 When clicking on the  Save-gadget,  Recall  Preferences  saves the current
 project under the default name and exits.

 The project can be saved without  exiting, by selecting Project->Save from
 the Project menu.  If you want to  save the project under a different name
 you can achieve this by selecting Project->Save as...

 The settings is always saved with the project.

Testing a project

 When creating a new project of  events,  there  is sometimes a wish to try
 things out before saving to disk.  This can be achieved by clicking on the
 Test-gadget or by selecting the menu-item Project->Test.

 When selected, Recall Preferences will run  through the list of events and
 display them according to their  attributes.   Recall  must be resident in
 the SYS:WBStartup/drawer for this to work.


 See also Project->Test


Cancel all changes and quit

 Clicking on the Cancel-gadget will terminate the program without question,
 unless the Settings->Confirm? menu-item is  checked.   All changes done to
 the project will be lost.


 See also Settings->Confirm?
          Save


Saving the position and size of windows

 To keep the size and position of Recall Preferences's windows permanently,
 you must first start Recall  Preferences  and  select the desired size and
 position of both main and calendar  window.  Then start MUIPrefs and click
 on the Save-gadget in MUIPrefs-window.  That's it, and that's that...

 When resizing or changing the position  of Recall Preferences windows, the
 size and position will saved  temporarily  and  used  the next time Recall
 Preferences are started.  However, if  these  changes  are not saved, they
 will be lost  when  rebooting  or  turning  off  your  machine  and Recall
 Preferences will use it's default size and position on next startup.

Using the Settingsmenu

 Group Events?
 When this menu-item is checked, events  of  the  same type will be grouped
 together in the same requester/alert/execute-block.

 Flash Screen?
 When this menu-item is checked,  Recall  will  flash/beep  (or both at the
 same time,  depending  on  the  configuration  set  by  Commodore's  Sound
 Preference) before an event is executed or displayed.

 Confirm requesters?
 When this menu-item is checked,  Recall  will  add  a Cancel button to all
 requesters.  Selecting Cancel in requesters  will  tell Recall not to show
 that specific event more that  day.   If  events  are grouped and the user
 selects cancel, ALL events which were displayed will be cancelled!

 Confirm alerts?
 When this menu-item is checked, Recall  will  add  a line at the bottom of
 all alerts, telling the  user  to  press  left  mousebutton to continue or
 press the right mousebutton to  cancel  the  event.  Selecting cancel will
 tell Recall not to show that event  more  that day.  If events are grouped
 and the user selects  cancel,  ALL  events  which  were  displayed will be
 cancelled!

 Confirm executables?
 When this menu-item is checked,  Recall  will  always ask before executing
 any commands.  Selecting 'OK'  will  carry  out the command(s).  Selecting
 'Cancel' will cancel the execution of all grouped executables.

 Postpone requesters?
 When this menu-item is checked,  Recall  will  add  an extra button to any
 requester. Pressing this button will postpone the event and force it to be
 displayed every time until you press  'OK'  or 'Cancel', even if the event
 is a daily event!  If events  are  grouped  and the user selects Postpone,
 ALL events which were displayed will be postponed!

 Use ReqTools?
 When  this  menu-item  is   checked,   Recall   will   open  and  use  the
 ReqTools.library  instead  of  standard  System's  EasyRequests.   If  the
 library is NOT  available,  Recall  falls  back  to  the  system's default
 requesters.  Using the ReqTools  library  enables  Recall  to centres it's
 requesters and let the requesters follow  the  mouse.  If NOT checked, all
 requesters will appear at the upper left  corner of the screen, unless you
 have installed a patch for requesters.

 Centre requesters
 When this menu-item is checked, Recall  will  centre all requesters on the
 default public screen.  This menu-item will  be ghosted if 'Use ReqTools?'
 is not checked.

 Confirm
 When this menu-item is  checked,  all  actions  in Recall Preferences that
 alters the project, must be confirmed before they are executed.

 AutoOpen Calendar
 When this menu-item is checked, Recall Preferences will automatically open
 the calendar on  startup.   This  option  is  for  users  that  run Recall
 Preferences on an interlaced screen and wish to have the calendar open all
 the time.

 AutoDelete Events
 When this menu-item  is  checked,  Recall  will  automatically  remove all
 expired events from the project upon startup.

 Sort by
 Lets the user select the sort-criteria used when sorting events.

Using Recall

 This is the main program.   If  started  without any argument, the program
 will  look  automatically  look  for  the  project  'ENVARC:Recall.prefs'.
 Any given parameter will  override  this.   Depending  on  the type of the
 event, the event will appear in several ways.

Future developments and plans

 I'm almost done with Recall V3.0, but since I have my hands full with work
 to do on my  graduate  thesis,  it  may  take  a  while  before it will be
 completely finished and released...  Here are the so-far implementations:

 o Will not need MUI anymore  :-D   Recall  will still be fontadaptable and
   sizeable, though.
 o Multiwindow-environment.  All windows are 'multitasking'.
 o ALL window-positions and sizes (including the ASL requester), as well as
   font, screen, colors, etc. etc. may be saved to disk.
 o Recall preferences will remember all sizes and positions when exiting.
 o The checker may stay resident in memory (optional) and keep on reminding
   you until you quit the program or turn off your machine.  Will check the
   events every minute (idle time may be overridden with a WAIT-tooltype).
 o The checker is a commodity,  and  may  be controlled via the Commodore's
   Commodities Exchange program.  (Deactivate etc.)
 o Tooltypes support.  Here are  the  most  important ones (almost anything
   can be adjusted via the tooltypes):
   o FILE=<project>
   o LANGUAGE=<language>
   o WAIT=<idle time between checking>
   o CHECKER=<location and name of the checker utility>
   o DOC=<location and name of on-line doc>
   o tooltypes to override the settings
   o other tooltypes
 o Executed programs can be launched  either  as  Shell or Workbench tasks.
   Programs started in Workbench-mode  will  use  their  tooltypes in their
   icons.
 o The window of Recall Preferences is  an app-window, allowing you to load
   projects by dragging the project's  icon  over  the window and releasing
   it.
 o Project icon support.   Projects  saved  with  icons  can  be started by
   double-clicking on their icons.   That  way  you  can  put two different
   projects on the workbench (with icons) and start them by double-clicking
   on them.  Taking  advantage  of  the  tooltypes,  you  may  have several
   project icons pointing to the SAME file, but taking usage of the started
   icon's tooltypes (different language, idle time and different settings).
 o Recall can pop up requesters on any screen.
 o Cut and paste of events and texts between events.
 o Load- and save-modules will replace the converter-program.
 o The alerts can be timed out.
 o Catchup of events so that you wont skip events anymore.
 o New type of event: Hotkey - generates a hotkey-press.
 o Possibility to group only certain events, flash certain events etc. etc.
 o Recursive directories, allows you to make folders of events i.e. keeping
   all birthday-events in a folder  called  Birthdays.  Unlimited number of
   levels!
 o Possibility to set the stack of executed programs.
 o Possibility to set the current dir for executed programs.
 o Possibility to set the priority of executed programs.
 o Possibility to set a timeout-value for alerts (V39).
 o Unlimited number of dates can be attached to the same event.
 o Events can now pop up on certain weekdays.
 o You can combine weekdays and  date,  allowing  you  to make events which
   will be shown i.e. the third sunday in a month etc. etc.
 o The calendar will put each day on its right weekday in the calendar.
 o Possibility to set the period before or after a specified time.
 o Major update of the calculation fields: allowing you to include both the
   current date, current time, calculation  of  days, calculation of years,
   current weekday and such  in  the  SAME  event!   The  attributes can be
   selected from a listview.
 o Lots of new calc-fields...
 o Lot's of other goodies...
 ---


 Other implementations to do:

 - Possibility to print the project.   Will  probably  be implemented as an
   export module.

 - Possibility to generate a list containing  the  text of all events (with
   calc-fields replaced by its value). (Suggested by Per Sverre
   Vogt-Hansen)

 - Graphical overview of the events within  a year or month.  (Suggested by
   Dirk B÷hmer).


Troubleshooting, Tips & Tricks

 The event does not show even if the date and time is set right
 Try setting 'Show' to 'Always' and  try  again.  The event might have been
 run earlier that day...   If  you  cycle  through  the Show-gadget, Recall
 Preferences will reset the daily flag.

 The event will not execute!
 Recall needs the full path!  If for  example use the Say-command, you must
 enter "SYS:Utilities/say" or else it will not be able to find it.

 How do I make an annual event?
 Set the date of the event to   DD.MM.****,  where DD and MM represents the
 day and the month you want  the   event   to  pop up.  Setting the year to
 **** is the same as saying 'every year'.

 How do I make a birthday event?
 There is unlimited number of   ways   to enter a birthday-event, depending
 of how you want the event to be shown.  Here's one suggestion.
 (Problem: Remind me of Rebecca's birthday on 08.05.1970)
 Set the date to 'Before', '09.05.****'
 Set the time to 'After', '11:00'
 Days='3'
 Repeat='0'
 Text='Rebecca is {080570} on 8th of May'
 Show='Daily'

 This event will be displayed daily on the 6th, 7th and 8th of May, leaving
 enough time to buy her a  flower  or  whatever... (...am I getting soft or
 what???).

 How do I create events that pop up on certain weekdays?
 If you want  an  event  to  be  displayed  every  monday,  you  must first
 determine the date of a monday (any  monday  -  last monday will be a good
 choice).  Enter that day in the date-field  and  set Repeat to '7', and it
 will appear every monday from now on...

 Testing an event with Show set to 'Daily'
 When testing such a project the event  will  ALWAYS be shown if it has not
 been displayed that day.  Furthermore will  it  not show if it already has
 been displayed that day.  This is  inevitable, since Recall Preferences do
 not alter the project's private structure.

 How to make events appear both x days BEFORE and y days AFTER a date?
 If you want an event to be displayed 3 days before the 10.10.93 AND 2 days
 AFTER, you must simply set the date to BEFORE 16.10.93 and days to 5!

 When I try to execute a program from Recall it crashes!
 When running Recall  from  the  WBStartup-drawer,  some   programs seem to
 cause an out of memory-guru.  This is  not   a bug in Recall!  I have only
 discovered this  error  while   running   ToolManager  from  WBStartup and
 Maxiplan V4.09 (started as an   event   within Recall) while running under
 WB3.0. Other programs  might  cause  similar  problems.  The   solution is
 however,  quite simple; enter 'Wait 2' on the line above your program, and
 your program will work just fine.

 Why not include a new type 'Echo' which prints the message to CLI
 This can easily be done setting the  type  of event to Execute, and adding
 something like this to the list of texts: '"echo "this will be printed out
 in CLI"'.

 How do I play a tune while displaying an event?
 You have to create two events to  do  a  thing like that (or by creating a
 little batch-file to execute).  The  first  event must be of execute-type:
 "run >NIL: play birthday.mod".   The  second  event  must  be of alert- or
 requester-type with the desired text.  The dates of the two events must of
 course be the same.

 Annoying shell-windows when executing events
 If the executed program echoes a text to the screen or if you use the Run-

 command, you should enter  ">NIL:"  after  your  commands  to suppress any
 popping up shell-window.

History

 The Recall version follows the notation <version>.<revision>, meaning that
 V2.10 is greater than V2.1.  The current  version can be printed out using
 'Version full Recall'  or  by  selecting  About  from  the Project-menu in
 Recall Preferences.

 24.May.93 V1.0
 First released version.

 25.May.93 V1.1
 RecallPrefs used to crash when   it   loaded  an  old project and the user
 selected 'Use'.  Now fixed.

 29.May.93 V1.2
 RecallPrefs now  tries  to  open  its  window  using  the current font set
 by  the  user.   If  this  fails  (usually  when  the window  becomes  too
 big  for   the   screen),  it  settles  for  the   standard   Topaz8-font.
 RecallPrefs now uses NewLook-style in menus.

 04.Jun.93 V1.3
 Recall now only updates  the   project  when  it's  absolutely necessary .
 This saves a lot of disk-access.  Fixed  a  bug in the compare date & time
 header  file.  Fixed a bug in the  purge-function  which  removed   events
 with  empty dates...  Updating  the   attributes   of   the   event is now
 speeded     up.      RecallPrefs       disables      the     corresponding
 (Exact/Before/After)-cyclebutton  if  Datestring      or  Timestring   are
 empty.    Made   more compliant with Commodore's Style Guide.

 08.Jun.93 V1.4
 Oooooops, made a  MAJOR  mistake   by   releasing   V1.3 too soon!  In the
 last minute a minor bug was fixed, and  this resulted of course in a MAJOR
 bug at another location in the program! Selecting 'Before' or 'After' with
 dates did not work at  all...  nor  did  #  Days  or  Repeat every #...  I
 PROMISE to check more   thoroughly   in  the  future...   When testing the
 project from  RecallPrefs,  the program asked  for a assign called 'REC:'.
 Now removed...  Recall  must  be   located    in    your   working   path.
 (i.e.  >path work:recall).  Fixed  a  bug   which   resulted  in a ghosted
 textstring  when editing a line of text...

 30.Oct.93 V1.5
 Fixed a bug which caused  Recall  to  return  a returncode and generate an
 error when testing a project from 'Recall Preferences'.  Now fixed.

 08.Nov.93 V1.6
 Fixed two  tiny  bugs  which  caused  Enforcer  hits.   Since  they  where
 positioned in the main loop of  both 'Recall Preferences' and Recall, hits
 appeared on every GADGETUP  IDCMP  and  event.   Now  fixed.  (Reported by
 Henning Schmiedehausen).  Selecting the GetFile  gadget  when no event was
 selected also caused an Enforcer hit.  Now fixed.  The Add Text gadget was
 sometimes not disabled, making it possible  to  add text to a non-existing
 event.  Now fixed.  Added an extra menu item to save project under default
 name without terminating  the  program.   (Suggested  by Raoul Rodriguez).
 Also, the new archive is  better  organized  with drawers for preferences,
 install and documentation.  The Installer-script  has been rewritten.  The
 documentation has been processed once  again, making (hopefully) easier to
 read (all chapter has a right justified margin...).

 12.Nov.93 V1.7
 The two binaries is now reduced in  size.  The sources may now be compiled
 by double-clicking on the  Build-icon  in  the  Source drawer.  Added more
 tips to 'Troubleshooting'.  The installer-script  is made more generic and
 will also detect if the user already has a Recall project and rename it to
 'Recall_OLD.prefs' when installing new example project. Also   reorganized
 the .guide, so that the chapters  appear  in  the same order as when using
 browse.  Corrected a few mistakes  and  misspellings in the documentation.
 Fixed a bug which caused repeating  events   not to be displayed when they
 should.  Also, when counting days  between  different months and years did
 not come out right.  Now fixed.   (thanks to Juha Kallioinen for questions
 about weekly events, which led me into finding this bug!)

 16.Nov.93 V2.0
 This version  is  re-written  from  scratch.  Uses  MUImaster.library  for
 creating  a great looking  GUI.   Font-adaptable  window.  Sizable window.
 Short-cuts for  most  functions.   IFF-FORM  .prefs-file.   Possibility to
 group  events, flash screen  before  event, automatically  delete  expired
 events, acknowledging events alerts.   Confirm   actions  in  Preferences.
 Setting the date and  time   from  a  'calendar'.  Possibility to copy and
 sort lines of text.   Better   readability   and  better organized .guide.
 Documentation also included in ASCII-format.  Unstall-script to delete the
 Recall package on  your  harddisk.   Importing  and  exporting projects of
 different formats (may be  controlled  via  the  Preferences).  More show-
 options.  More date fields in the  same line.  Do not use reqtools.library
 if not requested.  The program  may be iconified.  On-line-HELP.  Although
 Recall has gained a lot  of  functions,  it  is  actually smaller in size!
 Optimized code if a faster CPU is available.  Much more...

 07.Dec.93 V2.1
 NEW All  binaries  and  the  installation-script  is  localized.  English,
     french, spanish, german, swedish and norwegian catalogs are included.
 NEW Speeded up Recall 30%!!!
 NEW All binaries has reduced in size!  Rewritten to use tiny ROM-routines!
 NEW Postponing events!  If you put off an  event, it will keep nagging you
     until you acknowledge it!
 NEW Updating event's attributes is now speeded up (a lot!) in Preferences.
 NEW Safer IFF-saving.
 NEW Settings menu-item: Confirm executables?
 NEW Recall requesters now state the  current  date  in their titles.  Uses
     the selected dateformat.
 NEW Recall uses less memory than before!
 NEW Rearranged the GUI a little:  The date and time are separated from the
     text-group, the getfile-gadget now  uses  the button-background set in
     MUIprefs.
 NEW The  day-of-the-month  gadgets  are  now   of  BOOL  type  (like  Time
     Preferences).
 NEW The calendar can now be controlled from the keyboard.
 FIX Events with x days BEFORE  or  AFTER  were  not displayed (Reported by
     Dirk B÷hmer).
 FIX Acknowledging alerts did not  work,  unless  'Acknowledge events?' was
     NOT checked.  This  bug  did  not  appear  when  the  binaries was not
     optimized by the compiler... Strange...
 FIX The GUI of the installation-script was  messy  if  you did not use the
     Topaz.font (Reported by Heikki Kantola).
 FIX The GetFile-gadget did not work! (Reported by Olav Mⁿller).
 FIX GetFile did not allocate it's memory properly.
 FIX The GetFile-gadget was not documented.
 FIX Purging did not remove all the events that it should.
 FIX Corrected several bugs regarding  ghosted  buttons  and  the update of
     attributes.
 FIX One node in  the  documentation  of  Recall  was  not linked properly.
     (Reported by Olav Mⁿller).
 FIX Recall and Recall Preferences did not  deallocate all used memory when
     terminating.
 FIX Recall crashed if Use ReqTools? was checked but not available!
 FIX Events set to whenever or anytime did  not show if BEFORE or AFTER was
     selected.
 FIX The stringgadgets do no  longer  get  activated  when  selecting a new
     event/text from the listviews, making  it  easier  to use the keyboard
     short-cuts.
 FIX Recall Prefs no longer  asks  for  a  file  to  import  or export when
     SYS:Tools/ReConvert is not available...
 FIX Changed the name of some  items.   'Whenever' and 'Anytime' changed to
     'Every day' and  'All  day',  respectively.   'Once  a  day'  has been
     changed to 'Daily'.
 FIX Enforcer Hit when accidentally loading certain non Recall IFF-files.
 FIX All output to shell from Recall will  now be routed to the same shell-
     window!

 03.Mar.94 V2.2
 NEW Italiano catalogs included.
 NEW Nederlands catalogs included.
 NEW SBasePro 4 batch script for  converting  a  database of birthdays to a
     Recall project included.  Script provided by Thorsten Gau.
 NEW Recall only updates the project  when  the  user has selected a button
     which alters any of the internal flags.  Less disk-access.
 NEW The ASL requester now excludes the .info-files.
 FIX Recall now handles dates after 30. january 2000.
 FIX When displaying requesters with  only  one  button (no Cancel-button),
     pressing OK was interpreted as Cancel.
 FIX Events of type 'Execute' were only run once when 'Confirm executables'
     was not checked.
 FIX You could always cancel an  alert,  even  if the 'Confirm Alerts?' was
     not checked...
 FIX Prefs only allocates memory for the Asl-requester when needed.
 FIX Fixed a bug in  the  IFF  save-routine,  which  caused  a GURU on some
     machines.
 FIX Safer IFF-saving.
 FIX All binaries reduced in size (again).  The checker is now only 8Kb!
 FIX Recall used c-lib routines to get  and  calculate date and time.  This
     could be quite annoying when  running  SnoopDOS  in the background, as
     these  functions  access  ENV:TZ  a  lot.   Switched  to  ROM-routines
     instead.
 FIX Recall Preferences did not show events which printed texts to a shell-
     window when testing the project.
 FIX Recall Preferences would not update the  list  of texts when the first
     event in the list was highlighted, and user opened another project.
 FIX Corrected some mistakes and misleadings in the docs.

     The ReqTools.library will not be  included  from  V2.2  and later in a
     desperate try to reduce the size  of  the archive.  Anyway, 99% of all
     Amiga-owners already have this library...

 28.Apr.94 V2.3
 NEW Suomi catalogs included.
 FIX Better Nederlands translation.  Now fits on a 640x200 screen.
 FIX Faster rendering of alerts.
 FIX Fixed a bug which caused Alerts to  crash on some machines.  Thanks to
     Olaf Seibert for suggesting the byte-split...
 FIX The Recall-documentation  contained  an  unknown  link.   Reported  by
     Philip Meyer.
 FIX The calendar crashed on some machines when using MUI V2.0.

     The source will not be included in  V2.3  and later in order to reduce
     the size of the  archive.  (Not  many  were  interested in the source,
     anyway...)

 ********************************** NOTE **********************************
 If you are to report  a  bug,  it  is  extremely important that you  state
 which version of Recall  you  use,  what  your system-configuration is and
 what programs you launch  in  WBStartup  and  your startup-sequence.  This
 will make it easier for me to locate  bugs and problems.  It would also be
 of help if you mentioned where you got this application.
 ********************************** NOTE **********************************

 Please  check  'Future',    'Known   bugs'   and  'Troubleshooting' before
 reporting any bugs!

 I hope you agree with me,  that  this program is the BEST reminder-utility
 available for the Amiga.  If not, tell my why!


 Enjoy!

68000 CPU or NO harddrive

 This version of Recall uses MUImaster.library  to  create its GUI.  Due to
 the modular concept of MUI, it  takes  a  little  longer to open the first
 application that uses the  MUImaster.library.   Running  Recall from a OFS
 disk will take a while.

 Also, since the management  of  the  layout  of  the objects requires many
 complex calculations, running this application on a "bare" 68000, could be
 a bit slow.

 If you are using  a  8-colour  high  resolution,  interlaced workbench and
 think the application seems slow,  just  enter  the MUIPrefs and force the
 Recall-package to open on  a  non-interlaced,  4-colour screen, and every-
 thing will go smoother...   Change  the  size  and  position of the Recall
 windows according to your  wishes  and  SAVE  it.   Change these values as
 little as possible, as changing this  needs  a lot of calculation and will
 probably be quite slow at small machines.

 Also, the calendar window should  be  closed  when  you're not setting the
 date or time, since scrolling through the  list  of events will be a great
 deal slower when the window needs to updated.

 Changing the window refresh  type  and  window  redraw  routine  to a type
 matching your machine, will also help.

 If you still think the application seems too slow, you should either buy a
 faster computer or use any version of Recall prior to V2.0 instead...
