- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.1. Event Reminder ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Event Reminder
-
- The event reminder component of Remora is a very useful personal tool, if used
- properly. You can enter anniversaries, important events, and even enter all
- your diary events.
-
- Events can be set with various period types and event types. Event's can have a
- time and duration associated with them (depending on the type of event), and
- you can set how many days before hand you want to be notified o the event.
-
- Events can be shown once a day (including up and coming events) at bootup, and
- also through the main program. The calendar view is probably the most useful
- part of the program, with the events actually being shown (colour coded) on it,
- and events can be added also.
-
- To add events just choose "Add Event" from the event menu or click the button
- on the toolbar.
-
- Note: The date format is set using the Country Setup found in the OS/2 System
- Folder.

-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.2. Program Scheduler ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Program Scheduler
-
- The program scheduler operates by actually running programs after a defined
- number of bootup days in order to keep your system correctly checked and
- configured.
-
- Different types of programs such as Virus Scans, Defrags, Check Disks, etc. are
- logical choices for the program scheduler since they need to be regularly run.
-
- The program scheduler database is accessed from the "View Scheduled Programs"
- option of the "Scheduler" menu.

-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Event Edit/Insert ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Event Edit/Add
-
- This dialog is used to insert and edit events.
-
- The date field is where you enter when the event occurs.
-
- The warning days field is where you define how many days before hand you want
- notification of the event. The event will be shown every day from the warning
- day to the actual event day.
-
- Two groups of radio buttons let you choose the period type and also the event
- type. These both help to narrow down the period and type of the event so that
- the event is setup and displayed correctly.
-
- The time fields can be used to define the start and end time of the day the
- event is happening. It can be either in either 12hr or 24hr format. These are
- both optional.
-
- The duration field is for events that could run over many days, such as
- holidays. Just enter how many days the event will go for.
-
- Note: Special Monthly, Recurring, Birthday, Wedding, and Death Memorial Events
- cannot have a duration.
-
- The event description field is where you put the description, or person
- name(s), of what is happening. It can be up to 68 chars long.
-
-

-
- Date Field Format
-
- The Date field has many different formats depending on the type of event you
- are entering.
-
- Once Off Type Event
- The date field is used as normal, with a DD-MM-YYYY(or MM-DD-YYYY depending
- on your country setup) format. The year, if not entered, will set as the
- next time the date comes around.

- The day and year fields are not needed. The month field is where you enter
- the day the weekly event falls on. For example: 1=Sunday...7=Saturday.
-
- Monthly Event
- Only the day field is needed. The day field is where you enter the day of
- the month the event falls on. For Example, 23 in the day field will make an
- event that falls on the 23rd of each month.
-
- Special Monthly Event
- Only the day and month fields are needed. However,the day field is for the
- week of the month the event falls on, and the month field corresponds to the

- of each month.
-
- Yearly Event
- The date field is used as a normal date, but the year field is not required.

- able to calculate the age of the person each time the event comes around.

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. Errors and Notes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- *** Help panel Errors_Notes ***
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.1. Problem Running External ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This file either couldn't be found, or there are not the system resources to
- run this program.
-
- Check the path of the program, or make sure the system has enough resources
- (eg. Threads, etc.)
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.2. Switch to DOS Format Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Switch to DOS Format Mode
-
- By changing to DOS format mode, you are asking Remora to save and read the data
- files in a format that is compatible with EAZY for DOS v3.4x. This is good if
- you use Dual Boot or Bootmanager since you will be informed of all events no
- mater what OS you are in (OS/2, DOS, even Windows '95).
-
- The down side of this is that the format that EAZY 3.4x is old and not as
- advanced as the OS/2 format, which includes the program scheduler data in the
- same file (plus other enhancments).
-
- Therefore, you will loose the program scheduler functions plus other data that
- the DOS version doesn't use. EAZY v3.50 will be able (when released) to read
- the new format flawlessly, but there will still be data loss(non-critical) when
- using the DOS version.
-
- Note: You can export to EAZY 3.4x by using the Export Option on the file menu
