1) What is Nostradamus?
-----------------------
Nostradamus is not your average reminder or dayplanner. It combines
the best aspects of both. It's more than just a simple reminder, but
it's not as complex and elaborate as a full-blown dayplanner. Nor does
it need to be. Nostradamus is designed to be as intuitive, inobtrusive
and simple as possible.
Just enter your birthdays, appointments, holidays or reoccurring
events and Nostradamus will remind you. 30 days in advance if
necessary. Or the minute it's happening, by means of the built in
alarm. Never forget another birthday or appointment again!
Nostradamus is not limited to one-line messages. You can enter a new
message for every event (like a reminder), or enter just one message
for each day (like the page of a dayplanner). Or use a combination of
both! Use it any way you like. Nostradamus is versatile and fully
configurable.
With Nostradamus, you don't have to be a psychic to read the future!
2) Beta version
---------------
This is a beta version of Nostradamus. Although the program has been
extensively tested a few bugs may still remain, especially where
foreign date and time formats are concerned. Also, operating systems
other than Windows 95 may cause problems as Nostradamus has only been
tested on systems running Windows 95 until now.
PLEASE HELP ME TO IMPROVE NOSTRADAMUS BY REPORTING ANY PROBLEMS OR
SUGGESTIONS TO:
cw_wind@dds.nl
3) How to install
-----------------
Unzip the files in this archive to a temporary folder (directory),
run SETUP.EXE from Windows and just follow the instructions. After
installation you can delete the files in the temporary folder.
4) Shareware
------------
Nostradamus is not free software. You are hereby licensed to use
this software for evaluation purposes without charge for a period
of 30 days. If you use this software after the 30 day evaluation
period a registration fee of $10 is required. For more information
see the section "How to register". After the 30 day evaluation period
Nostradamus will continue to function, there is no expiration date.
Unregistered use of Nostradamus after the 30-day evaluation period IS
in violation of international and U.S. copyright laws, however!
Please support the shareware concept and register.
5) How to register
------------------
Registering is easy and inexpensive. Mail the registration fee (paper
bills only) in a closed envelope to the address below. It's not an
elegant way to pay but it is, at this time, not possible to pay using
a credit card or international check because the costs involved in
cashing an international payment are higher than the registration fee
itself. Make sure to include your name, address and e-mail address.
After registering you will receive your personal registration code.
The code will, of course, also be valid for future versions of
Nostradamus. Registering Nostradamus will remove the "thank you for
trying Nostradamus" message and put your name in Nostradamus' title
bar.
Registration fee for a single user:
-----------------------------------
North America: US$ 10,- or CAN$ 15,-.
Within Europe: DM 20,- (Germany), DFl 20,- (NL) or 10 Euro.
Other currencies: your own currency for a value of (at least)
US$10 (banknote-exchange rate buy, no coins
please) provided that your currency may be
exported and exchanged.
These prices are valid through december 1998.
Registering within the Netherlands: vraag, indien gewenst, naar de
mogelijkheden om te betalen via bank of giro.
U kunt mij eenvoudig bereiken via e-mail.
Send the registration fee, your name, address and e-mail address to the
address below. The most convenient way to register is to use a printout
of the Write-file "Register.wri", included in the Nostradamus package.
