Personal Schedule 1.0 Page 1
Welcome to Personal Schedule, the powerful, flexible, user friendly
schedule manager! This program will keep track of your personal,
group, and project schedules, reminding you when tasks are due, and
automatically calculating due dates for recurring tasks. It features
both interactive and batch modes. In batch mode Personal Schedule
will scan your schedule and pop up a dialog window if it finds an
uncompleted task which is currently due. This feature is ideal for
use in your Autoexec.bat file. Personal Schedule easily handles
recurring tasks, automatically calculating intervals of days, weeks,
or months, as required. You can create any number of task files,
either for separate environments (i.e. Work vs. Home), members of a
group, or specific projects. Despite its name, Personal Schedule is
also ideal for tasks shared by all members of a group, such as a
family, or a department at work. At work, it is ideal as a project
management program.
Notice and disclaimer: This software is supplied as is with no
warranty of any kind. I have worked hard writing this software, and
to represent its operation as accurately as possible, but it is
impossible for me to guarantee that it will always work perfectly for
all users on all systems. Any time you test new software such as
this, you should proceed slowly, and, among other things, carefully
observe how the program behaves with TSR's that are loaded
concurrently. Trial and error are the only ways to find this out.
Instructions:
1) Create a new subdirectory on your hard drive. Copy the
distribution files to that directory.
2) Type 'Persched' and Enter.
3) Select the 'Instructions' option from the 'Miscellaneous' menu to
learn more about the program.
This program was compiled using Microsoft BASIC Professional
Development System 7.1. It should work with any DOS version 2.0 or
greater.
Included in the .ZIP file, should be the following files:
1) PerSched.exe is the main program.
2) Readme.doc is the file you are reading now.
3) PerSched.doc is an ASCII file which contains the instructions
and registration form which are accessed by the program. It can
optionally be loaded into your word processor, to allow you to
search for specific subjects. For proper program operation, this
file should *not* be modified.
4) PerSched.dat is a sample schedule file.
5) Sharewar.doc is an explanation of the shareware license.
6) Register.doc is a copy of the registration form. Simply type
'Copy register.doc prn' to print it on your printer (if you use
Readme.doc Apr 17, 1995
Personal Schedule 1.0 Page 2
Compuserve, you can avoid mail delays, and register and pay
online. Go SWREG for details. The registration ID is 5471).
7) File_id.diz is a file which can be read by some BBS software to
automatically provide a file description at time of upload.
8) Vend&Sys.doc has information for disk vendors and BBS sysops.
9) Bonus freeware programs: PCMenu will help you easily create
flexible, powerful, custom menus/shells/program launchers.
PCBackup is a flexible, powerful, hard drive backup program.
Unzip the corresponding .zip files, and read their .doc files for
details.
Advertisement: I have also written, and supported for several years, a
shareware program called 'The Variable Investment Analyst', an easy to
use investment portfolio management program. It calculates profit,
periodic total return, cumulative total return, average annual total
return, internal rate of return (IRR), capital gain, buy/sell prices,
and other statistics. Creates 12 types of charts. Can import price
history from Compuserve, and price/purchase/sale data from other
software. It is especially useful for investments involving multiple
cash flows, such as mutual funds, 401k plans, annuities, and
partnerships, but also is helpful for bank accounts, CD's, stocks,
bonds, etc. Has pull down menus, dialog boxes, and mouse support.
Exports to Lotus, Excel, etc. It can utilize a math coprocessor, runs
on any IBM compatible display monitor, and does *not* require a hard
drive. It is on Compuserve, and many other BBS's and shareware disk
libraries. It is usually named 'Varinv.zip', or 'Varin59f.zip', etc.
For an evaluation copy of The Variable Investment Analyst, send $5.00
US to the address below. As a bonus, you'll receive several
additional shareware and freeware programs.
I encourage you to upload this product to bulletin boards that accept
such products, and to make copies available to other potential users,
provided that you not charge more than a nominal copying fee, and that
you include the distribution files in their original, unaltered form.
I welcome your comments and suggestions! For comments about Personal
Schedule, PC-Backup, PC-Menu, Multi-compare, or to request an
evaluation copy of 'The Variable Investment Analyst', please send to:
