What is REMINDER?
Did You ever forget your best friend's birthday? Hopefully this will
not happen again with REMINDER.
REMINDER reads a text file with your important dates and displays
everything that lies within a user selectable range in a window.
By default REMINDER will show your dates for the next 10 days.
The power of this program is its simplicity.
REMINDER is distributed as CardWare. If You like it, send a nice
picture postcard.
Installation
Copy REMINDER.EXE, REMINDER.ICO and REMINDER.DAT to your Disk and
install it on the Workplace Shell.
You will also need the VROBJ.DLL 2.0a runtime library somewhere
on your LIBPATH. This library is not included to keep the archive
size small. It is however available from many sources free of charge.
Operation
Lick your right mouse button on the REMINDER winodw. You will see
four options:
'Rescan' re-reads REMINDER.DAT.
'Edit' calls the internal reminders maintenance panel.
'Options' call the REMINDER's option panel.
'Info' displays information about REMINDER.
Alt-F4 or a Double-Click on the System Menu Button will terminate
REMINDER.
Format of REMINDER.DAT
Each date you would like to remember has to be on a separate line.
The format of this line is year month day text. Leadings spaces are
ignored. Example:
1994 12 20 Check savings account
A zero is a wildcard. These will trigger reminders every year or month.
0 12 25 Guess what !
0 5 10 Volker Weber's birthday. Don't forget to send a card.
0 0 25 Pay next month's rent.
Maintenance panel
Pretty straightforward: add reminders, edit or remove existing
reminders. Just click on the reminder you wish to change or
delete and hit the appropriate button. If you edit or insert
reminders, you will see an entry panel with four fields: year,
month, day and text. Enter 0 (zero) if you want to say "always".
Month 0 means every month, year 0 every year.
Options
You can set up a range of days and select your favorite date format.
You might as well leave everything at the default.
REMINDER does not perform any error checking. It simply is a 'Garbage
in - garbage out' setup. If you specify 'from tomorrow 'til yesterday'
that's exactly what you will get: nothing.
Clicking on the reminders input field displays a files select panel,
which is pretty much straightforward.
If you painted yourself into a corner with the options panel, simply
delete REMINDER.INI.
De-Installation instructions
I don't think you will ever need it. But, just in case:
delete REMINDER.EXE
delete REMINDER.DOC
delete REMINDER.ICO
delete REMINDER.DAT
delete REMINDER.INI
License
You may copy or distribute REMINDER as long as you do not charge
anything for it - I strongly encourage you to do so.

and continue to use it, please send a nice picture postcard to my
