- Uploaded: tkreuzer@delphi.com
- Author: tkreuzer@delphi.com
-
- Features
-
- - Outputs a reminder consisting of a user-supplied
- text string following a user-defined time interval
-
- - Time interval can be based on either a:
-
- -- Standard clock (HH:MM AM/PM), or
-
- -- Duration (HH:MM:SS)
-
- - Reminder can be:
-
- -- A Workbench screen-based pop-up window
- with optional Workbench screen flash
-
- -- Spoken via the AmigaDOS "Say" command
- (see "Requirements")
-
- -- Both the above
-
- - Spoken reminder is tunable as follows:
-
- -- Choice of Male/Female/Natural/Monotone voice
-
- -- Selectable speed
-
- -- Selectable pitch
-
- -- Test button allows you to hear the spoken reminder
- so you can checkout your "tuning" prior to committing
- the reminder
-
- - Gadtools user-interface
-
- - Tested OK using the Enforcer
-
-
- Requirements
-
- - AmigaDOS 2.04(+)
-
- - 68000(+) CPU
-
- - To utilize the spoken reminder option, you must have
- the following files present:
-
- -- L:speak-handler
-
- -- LIBS:translator.library
-
- -- DEVS:narrator.device
-
- -- SYS:Utilities/Say
-
- Note that the above is the standard "speech" software
- distribution and placement for AmigaDOS 1.3 and 2.04.
-
- Commodore ceased distribution of these files beginning
- with AmigaDOS 2.1.
-
- If you have upgraded to AmigaDOS 2.1 and/or 3.0, you
- should be able to copy these files from your original
- AmigaDOS 1.3 and/or 2.04 distribution disks.
-
- Finally, the exact location of the "Say" program can
- be adjusted via the SAYLOCATION Tooltype (see "Icon
- Tooltypes"). That is, the "Say" program does NOT have
- to be in the SYS:Utilities directory.
-
-
- Limitations
-
- - Can only be used from the Workbench (start via Icon)
-
- - Only 1 reminder per program execution is supported
-
- - Once set, no method of canceling a reminder is provided
-
- - Previously set reminders do not survive system reboots
-
- - A maximum period of 24 hours is supported for both duration types
-
- - Reminder was developed on an A1200 and A4000 running AmigaDOS 3.0
-
- I do not have an AmigaDOS 2.04 or 2.1 system to test on
-
- Therefore, I cannot guarantee that the program will work
- 100% correctly under 2.04 or 2.1
-
- Please let me know if you have success using Reminder on either
- a 2.04 or 2.1-based system
-
-
- Release Notes
-
- - Version 1.0 : Initial release.
-
- - Version 1.1 : Added spoken reminder functionality.
-
- Reworked user interface given the preceding.
-
- Changed "library version" minimum to include
- AmigaDOS 2.04 and above.
-
- Changed compilation/link CPU target to
- "any CPU".
