This archive contains a port to OS/2 1.x--2.x and DOS of David Skoll's
Remind 3.0.10. David Skoll writes:
Remind is a sophisticated calendar/alarm program, which runs under
MS-DOS, UNIX and OS/2. I have posted Patch 10 to comp.sources.misc.
The flexibility of the triggers (and some other nice features)
distinguish this program from other reminder-like programs. Norm Walsh
remarks that VREXX can add PM-popup capability to Remind (see below).
The OS/2 changes will be integrated into the next release of
Remind. This interim release is to replace an older version, and to
provide a version for the Nov-93 CD of ftp-os2.cdrom.com.
Russ Herman (rwh@gov.on.ca) is reponsible for the popup capability and
support for the bcc compiler. EMX/gcc and MSC support are from Norm
Walsh (norm@ora.com) and Darrel Hankerson (hankedr@mail.auburn.edu).

Notes: Norm Walsh suggested using VREXX to add PM popups to Remind.
VREXX is by Richard B. Lam, and is available at ftp-os2.cdrom.com
in pub/os2/ews/vrexx2.zip.
A very basic outline of a VREXX script to add the PM popup capability
is given by the following popup.cmd file:
/* popup.cmd: Popup ARG(1) message */
call RxFuncAdd 'VInit', 'VREXX', 'VINIT'
initcode = VInit()
if initcode = 'ERROR' then signal CLEANUP
signal on failure name CLEANUP
signal on halt name CLEANUP
signal on syntax name CLEANUP
msg.0 = 1
msg.1 = ARG(1)
call VMsgBox 'Remind', msg, 1
CLEANUP:
call VExit
exit
The '-k' option of Remind is used to specify the command for MSG-type
reminders. If your shell is cmd.exe, then
remind "-kpopup %s" mytest.rem
might be a typical example (use %%s for 4os2).
