-
- There are a lot of Nagger/Reminder programs out there, but I couldn't find
- one that did what I wanted it to. Reminder is the result.
-
-
- There are two programs in the archive:
- Reminder - The main file, put it in WBStartUp
- ReminderGUI - The file editor, put it wherever
-
-
- Requirements
- ------------
- Any Amiga
- Date command in C:
- Reqtools.Library in Libs:
-
- Optional
- narrator.device in Devs:
- translator.Library in Libs:
-
-
- ReminderGUI
- -----------
-
- The ReminderGUI program allows you to enter notes, edit and delete them.
- It saves the data file for the main program in your S: directory as
- Reminder.DAT.
-
- Prefs
- -----
- sound options:
- None - No sound (obviously)
- Bell - A bell will ring for each reminder listed
- Speech - The computer will display the reminder and read it to you. For
- this option you will need narrator.device and translator.library.
- If you don't have them, they were included with the 1.3 workbench.
-
- screen options:
- Workbench - The reminders will display on your workbench screen
- Custom - Reminder will open its own intuition screen
-
- name option:
- Here you can set the name the computer will use when addressing you
-
- Add
- ---
- This is the button to use to add a new entry to the list of reminders. At
- present, you can have 49 reminders stored. Send me $5 and I will send you
- a version of the program that will handle up to 200.
-
- Edit
- ----
- If you screw up an entry, you can use this option to fix it.
-
- Delete

- If you don't need the reminder anymore, you can delete it here.
-

-
- Types of Reminders
-
- Countdown
- Until the target date is reached, this type of reminder will count the days
- (unless it's more than a month away) until the event happens. When it
- reaches the target date, it will give you the option of deleting the
- reminder.
-
- Event
- This type only shows up when the target date is reached. Use this one for
- birthdays, holidays, one time events. When it is displayed, it will give
- you the option of deleting the reminder.
-
- Weekly
- Every time the target day is reached (Monday, for example), the reminder
- will be displayed. As usual, you will be given the option of deleting the
- reminder from the list when it is displayed.
-
- Monthly
- Each time the target day of the month is reached, this reminder will
- display. Again, you can delete it when it displays.
-
-
- Reminder
- --------
- Drag, drop, shove or otherwise get the Reminder program into your WBStartUp
- drawer (or add run >NIL: Reminder to your startup-sequence (or something
- like that)).
-
- Every time your computer boots, you will be asked whether or not you wish
- to view the reminders. If you say no, the program ends and that's the name
- of that tune. If you say yes, the program will tell you the date and then
- begin listing all valid reminders.
-
- Any time a reminder reaches its target date, it will give you the option of
- deleting that reminder from the list.
-
- After it displays all the reminders, it will clean up the list (in case any
- have been deleted) and resave it.
-
-
- If you enjoy this program, why not drop me a line and say so?
