My Ideal Calendar Scheduler
After looking, trying, and using many of the many calendar/schedulers
available on the BBS and commercial market, I have found none of them ideal
in function and size. They are either too elaborate or don't do enough.
The best I could do was to use several little utilities that uses a lot of
memory and sometimes incur TSR problems. They are included in this file
for reference.
I tried to come up with a more ideal one that would have almost
everything. It would have a minimum of a (scrollable) three month calendar
so you can see a little forward and backward with a place to note your
scheduled events (scrollable) and of course see what has already been
noted, all on one screen. It should be TSR (and removable) for instant
access.
I have designed the primary and secondary (help) screens. The person
who programs it can put his mark on a preliminary first screen that can be
remove for subscribing users. If anyone is interested enough to do this pgm
I would be the first to contribute to his shareware kitty.

to have a color version for desktops. Simple functional features are
necessary and great.
