I wanted to use my computer to keep a diary of goings on in my life and to
document my own personal history. I started using a word processor for
awhile to write my opus but there are drawbacks: You have to name each file
daily or search for the end of the file if you use a single file for a
month, the disk space taken up by some word processors was bigger than it
needed to be, I had to enter the date everyday manually, getting a print
out was a pain of printing a bunch of individual files, and it was easy for
someone else to get ahold of my data disk and read it. So OMNIDay was
born:
The program is MSDOS compatible, runs on 256K RAM, uses IBM graphics/laser
printers, mono or colour monitor, and can operate on one/two or hard disk
drives. The User can set the colours, printer codes, and default data
drive. There are no 'crippled' features or options.
Program Features:
* Handles up to 10 Users.
* Optional encryption of data
* 10,000 encryption possibilities (User defined)
* PassCode entry to protect privacy
* Automatic entry of text date line
* Modifiable PassCodes & encryption options
* Dynamic data file (only as large as entries)
* Entries can be from 1 to 5000 lines
* The ability to change history (Alter Entry)
* You define printer codes
* You name data file, screen colours, and data drive
* Word Wrap & Scroll toggle on/off
* Common word processor commands used
* On line Help available (F1)
* The ability to make history vanish (Erase Entry)
* Reminisce feature allows you to 'thumb' through entries
* Data files automatically install
* Full featured full screen editing of entries
* Works with TSR spell check/thesaurus programs
* Prints out entire opus or selected dates
* You name the opus and enter your name into program
* Date formats for France, Britain, Germany, Italy and America
* Much more!
Getting Started:
DO NOT INSTALL THE PROGRAM IF YOU ARE ALREADY USING IT SEE THE
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO UPGRADE THE PROGRAM
The following files MUST be on the same disk or sub directory:
OMNIDAY.EXE
DAYDAT.DBT
DAYDAT.DAT
PRINT.SET
COLOUR.SET
Type OMNIDAY to start.
When you first bring up the program you will be requested to select the
User for this session. Select the New User for first time Users, otherwise
use the Arrow keys to select the User and hit the return key to proceed. Up
to 10 Users can use the system at once.
QEMM.SYS And Other Extended Memory Managers:
Occaisionally a problem will be incurred by a person using QEMM.SYS
or other extended memory manager. This has to do with the way that the SYS
file manages memory vs the way that the program wants to use the extended
memory (The program will attempt to use extended memory automatically, if
it is available).
On the distribution disk there is a program called UNIEMM.COM (This can be
renamed to any legal file name EXCEPT the name of the EXE program). If you
attempt to run the program and get a DOS ERROR or RUN ERROR message at the
top of the screen, use the UNIEMM utility to start the program. It
will tell the program you are using an extended memory that has this
anomoly and command the program to remain in low memory instead of
switching to extended memory. After passing these instructions to the
program, the program will start with no other commands needing to be
entered.
First Time Users:
When you first start the program, the computer will bring up the New Set Up
screen first. Just enter the info requested. When you name the Disk
Drive, the program will automatically copy the data files to that drive for
you ! So Have A Disk In The Drive And Ready ! The program will not do any
further copying on its own. In order to create new data disks simply copy
the files fro the name you selected with the DAT and DBT extension onto
your new data disk.
Colours:
Color Letter
------------------
Black N
Blue B
Green G
Cyan BG
Red R
Magenta RB
Brown GR
White W
------------------
File Name:
Any 8 character name , except TEMP and DAYDAT, can be used. If the name is
already used the program will ask you to select a new name.
Data Drive:
The drive where you will keep your data disk. ex A,B,C,D etc.
PassCode:
Any number between -999 and +9999. This number will get you into the
system and supply the seed for the data encryption. You can change this
later if you want. Sometimes the number you select will not work with the
algorithm in the system (See Data Encryption below). If the number you
select will not work the computer will tell you and you will need to select
a new number.
Title:
A 25 character title for your opus {Do Not Include 'The' or 'Of' In
Title}. ex Personal Journal, Diary, Thoughts, etc. This will appear on
the screen and on print outs.
Author:
Your name up to 25 characters. This will appear on the screen and on print
outs.
Date Format:
You have the following choices:
A=American MM/DD/YY {Default}
B=British DD/MM/YY
F=French DD/MM/YY
G=German DD.MM.YY
I=Italian DD-MM-YY
Next/Second+ Time Users:
The program will ask you for your PassCode. You have three tries before
the system aborts. You do not have to enter +, but you do have to enter -.
The Main Menu will appear next.
The System:
Is designed using KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) so not much information is
needed to get started. Here are a few notes to help you use the system:
Universals:
The ESC key will take you back one menu.
The box in the upper right hand corner of the screen will contain
information on how to move around, and data entry tips.
The last line of the screen will tell you what the highlighted option does.
All menu entries can be selected with the light bar, or by pressing the
first letter of the option.
General Editing Notes:
The screen will display only 20 lines of text at a time but by using the
down arrow key or Page Down key you can continue on. Up to 3000 lines can
be used.
Hitting the F1 key will bring up these instructions while you are in the
program.
******Once the help Screen appears you can exit the program by hitting the
ESC key, any other key returns you to the system. Great for when you are
interrupted or as a Boss Key since the entire screen is covered.
Moving Around
CTRL Left Arrow or CTRL A Move left one word
CTRL Right Arrow or CTRL F Move right one word
CTRL Home Beginning of the Entry
CTRL End End of the Entry
PageUp Next edit window up
PageDown Next edit window down
Editing
{*=Not Valid In Erase Or Reminisce Modes}
CTRL Y or F3 Delete current line*
CTRL T Delete word right*
CTRL B Reformat text of Entry*
F4 Insert blank line*
Finishing Touches & Toggles
F5 Toggles Word Warp
F6 Toggles Scrolling
ALT W Saves Entry*
ESC Aborts Entry*
{When Scrolling is on SCR will appear on the lower right of the screen.
When WordWrap is active WRP will appear}
Make Entry:
Allows you to add a new entry. You will be prompted for the date of the
entry, the program will automatically enter today's date, but it can be
any date past or future. If you already have an entry for the date you
will be told to use Alter or Erase instead and returned to the Main Menu.
If you enter a date prior to the last date in the file (You enter 1/12/90
after you have entered 3/1/91) the program will automatically resequence
the file for you.
Alter Entry:
This will allow you to change an entry. 17 entries will appear on the
screen at a time, the date along with the first few words for the entry
will appear. Select one of them or PageDown for the next 17. If you know
the date you want select the Enter Date option and then enter the date you
want to Alter.
Erase Entry:
This will allow you to erase an entry. 17 entries will appear on the
screen at a time, the date along with the first few words for the entry
will appear. Select one of them or PageDown for the next 17. If you know
the date you want select the Enter Date option and then enter the date you
want to Delete.
All of the 'Getting Around' keys work while in Delete mode, but you cannot
change any of the text. Hitting the ESC key will allow you to continue,
then you will have to confirm the deletion.
Reminisce:
This will allow you to view an entry. 17 entries will appear on the
screen at a time, the date along with the first few words for the entry
will appear. Select one of them or hit return for the next 17. If you know
the date you want select the Enter Date option and then enter the date you
want to view.
All of the 'Getting Around' keys work while in Reminisce mode, but you
cannot change any of the text. Hitting the ESC key will allow you to
continue, then you can use the PageUp key to look at the previous entry,
PageDown for next or Home to Exit.
Print Entries:
You will be allowed to select the from and to dates for the print out.
This is inclusive. Check Printer Set Up codes prior to printing.
Utilities:
Build For Speed:
Resequences entire opus file.
Crunch File:
Reduces the size of the file by smashing out blanks and empty opus lines.
DOES NOT HURT OR CHANGE DATA.
Default Set Up:
Set Colours, Default Data Drive, File Name, Author & Title Lines. If you
change file names you MUST copy the file before changing the File Name. If
you enter "ZZZZZZZZ" for the file name it will destroy all the data and
remove you from the system. This is a security feature. Not even Norton
Utilities can bring back the file or data after you do this.
New PassCode:
This allows you to change your PassCode. Any number between -999 and
+9999. This number will get you into the system and supply the seed for the
data encryption. Sometimes the number you select will not work with the
algorithm in the system (See Data Encryption below). If the number you
select will not work the computer will tell you and you will need to select
a new number. The program will then Transmorgify the data for the new
PassCode.
Printer Set Up:
This allows you to customize the printer codes used by the program. These
codes can be found in your printer manual. The codes that the program has
when originally distributed are for the Epson FX100. You will need to know
the code for 10 cpi (Pica), 12 CPI (Elite), Enlarged, Condensed (17CPI) and
Double High/Wide. If your printer cannot handle double high/wide DON'T
PANIC, just leave it blank; the program will use Enlarged for that entry.
You do not have to enter the ESC part of the code, the program will add
that automatically. You can enter the letter ESC code or the number it does
not matter: ie ESC code 119 can be entered as "119" or "w". (Do not enter
any " "s!)
Opus On The Go:
This lets you add any entries you may have made with a different computer
to your existing opus. {I use it when traveling}. ust enter the location
and sub directory and the filename (without the DAT extension).
**NOTE** The PassCode for the Opus you are adding the existing opus MUST
be the same. The files with the DAT and DBT extensions must be in the same
location.
Shell To DOS:
You can exit temporarily to DOS by using that option on the Utilities
Menu. The program will swap itself to expanded memory or disk if there is
space {about 300K}. If not the file COMMAND.COM must be on the same
directory or disk as the other program files to do this. You must return
to the subdirectory/drive of OMNIDay prior to entering EXIT to return to
the program. It will leave 256K RAM free.
HOW TO UPGRADE:
Upgrading from previous versions to 2.27 is necessary to save your user
info and opus files.
1. Rename your OLD COLOUR.SET to COLOUR.OLD. ie RENAME COLOUR.SET
COLOUR.OLD
2. The only files you need from this version are OMNIDAY.EXE and
COLOUR.SET. (Copying the DOCs is optional). Copy those files to your work
area.
3. Start the program, and select New User from the openning screen, then
type in UPGRADE in the Author name. The program will then upgrade your old
users file. You will need to select the Default Set Up entry and chnage
the Date Format, if you want to change from American.
TSR Thesaurus Spell Checkers:
If you do not have a TSR thesaurus already, I heartily recommend Thesaur
Plus, by fellow ASP author Derrick Burgess. Even if you have a TSR
thesauraus I still recommend that you take a look at Thesaur Plus. What is
Thesaur Plus? In the words of the author:
"Thesaur Plus is a pop-up Thesaurus, whenever you need a different word
or a different shade of meaning than the word that comes to mind, pop-up
Thesaur Plus and get just the word you wanted, but couldn't quite
remember!"
It works excellently with OMNIDay and has a registration price of only $20
(even less if you help build it's dictionaries). It can't be beat!
I will try to maintain the latest version, as convieniance to users of
OMNIDay and will send it out for $3 (to cover P&H). I would rather
have you contact Derrick himself, since he will ALWAYS have the latest
version:
Derrick Burgess
23311 Schoolcraft St.
West Hills, CA 91307
He charges $6.00 for the latest version of Thesaur Plus, $5.00 of which
is applied toward registration.
I am still looking for, but have yet to find, a Shareware spell checker
that is a TSR. In the meantime the Borland product Turbo Lightening will
have to fill the gap. It works well with OMNIDay and does a very good job
of checking your spelling errors.
Data Encryption
I am not going to go into an extensive history of Data Encryption or
explain all the implications of it 90% of Users don't care or won't read
it. Simply:
1. I wanted to make the system private for each individual, a
PassCode was a start, but the data file could have been read by any number
of other programs, so I needed a way to 'scramble' the file's text.
2. I wrote an algorithm to do the job, but then when you figured
out one person's code you code strip the entire system.
3. The algorithm is now different for each person using the
system. There are some numbers that will NOT work with the coding, if you
enter one of these the system will let you know so you can change it. This
in itself helps to make the data more secure since the 'bad' numbers follow
no logical sequence. For any given person there will be approx 1800 bad
numbers out of the 10,998 possible PassCodes. {I apologize, in advance,
for anyone who finds that their 'lucky number' won't work.}
4. Using no encryption (PassCode 0) makes the system faster
(because the system doesn't have to encrypt and decrypt for on screen and
print operations) but it removes the security of the data.
5. NO ENCRYPTION SCHEME IS UNBREAKABLE OR UNSOLVABLE. It took me
3 hours to break a text file one of my beta testers sent me. I know the
algorithm, I knew the possibilities, and I worked with a 80386 system; but
even if I did not I could have broken it eventually.
6. Once you are in the system, if you are using encryption, do not
leave without exiting the system. {The quickest way is to hit F1 then ESC}
7. When choosing a PassCode avoid the "easys" ex 333,222,-999,555
and things like your phone number,SSANs, etc. This makes breaking the
code easier.
8. Write the PassCode down and keep it in a safe place, for you
(if you forget) or for posterity (should something happen to you).
Notes On Keeping A Journal/Diary
1. Set aside a time every day to write in the journal and try to keep to
it.
2. Make sure you reflect for a few minutes prior to writing, this will
give you a chnace to compose your thoughts.
3. WRITE EVERYDAY! Even it is only "Nothing Happened", it keeps up the
habit and when you go to Reminisce or Print it out you don't have any
missing spaces of time.
4. Be as honest in the diary as you are to yourself. If you are not you
are writing a novel, not a diary. Besides with the encryption option the
chances of it falling into the wrong hands are reduced.
5. Part of the uniqueness of a diary/journal is that it is in your own
words and syntax, making the entry grammatically correct and perfectly
spelled takes away from the authenticity of a true diary. {This is why no
spell checker or thesaurus is included in the program.}
6. Your first few entries should 'introduce' the names used in the diary.
You might forget who Billy Joe Bob is in a few years, so a brief character
sketch would probably help.
7. Remember "He who controls the present, controls the past. He who
controls the past controls the future" (George Orwell, 1984) when you go to
Alter or Delete an entry.
8. Every now and then, flip through what you've written and take a look at
what's happened.
9. If you prefer, and want to be reminded to make entries, have the
program start when you boot up your computer. {Add it to the AUTOEXEC.BAT}
Then, write about the previous day.
10. Enjoy!

Other Unicorn Programs:
All programs are MSDOS compatible, run on 256K RAM, use IBM graphics/laser
printers, mono or colour monitor, and can operate on one/two or hard disk
drives (except DayMaster & CompUser which require a hard or high density
drive). The User can set the colours, printer codes, default data drive
and data file name. There are no 'crippled' features or options. The only
difference between the shareware and registered versions is the lack of
'plea' screens on the registered version and the clarity of the Users
conscience. Amount in {} is price for registration.
The *Master Series
CDMaster - To help Users catalog their CDs and assist in printing catalogs,
listings and labels for the case and front of the CD. There are entries
for CD Number, Title, Artist, and up to 24 Tunes as well as Category and 3
User defined fields. The program will hold up to 9999 CDs (depending on
disk space) and can be used to find even a single song. It will also
produce a list of every Tune User have in addition to the regular catalogs
and case inserts. Find! option locates CDs by any of the data fields or by
a User defined mix of data fields. {$25}
AlbumMaster - To help Users catalog their Albums and assist with printing
catalogs, listings and labels for the front of the Album. There are entries
for Album Number, Title, Artist, and up to 12 Tunes on each side as well as
Category and 3 User defined fields. The User can define fields for use as
producer, writer, opinions etc. The program will hold up to 9999 Albums
(depending on disk space) and can be used to find even a single song. It
will also produce a list of every Tune User have in addition to the regular
catalogs. Multiple data field Finds! and User designed listing make this a
must have for audiophiles. {$20}
CassetteMaster - To help User catalog their cassette tapes and print
catalogs, listings and inserts for the case and front of the tape. There
are entries for Tape Number, Title, Artist, and up to 14 Tunes on each side
as well as Category. The User can also define three entries for use as
producer, writer, opinions etc. The program will hold up to 9999
individual Tapes, with two Titles per Tape (depending on disk space) and
can be used to find even a single song. It will also produce a list of
every Tune User have in addition to the regular catalogs. The case inserts
not only print all the tunes, artist, and title but the User defined info
as well. Find! and Criteria print option make this very useful for the
'home recorder' or the 'store bought' cassette tape User. {$25}
VideoMaster - To help User catalog their video tapes and assist User in
printing catalogs, standard and User customized listings and labels for the
spine and front of the tape. There are entries for Tape Number, Title,
Rating, Start Point, Star, Co Star, three User defined entries and a seven
line Synopsis as well as Category. User can find any tape by any field.
The program can handle up to 5 titles per tape, with the data file only
being limited by disk space. Great for the home video buff. {$25}
PostCardMaster - The program will help User compose post cards and maintain
addresses on disk. Then User may retrieve either listings of the
addresses and cards, address labels, 3X5 cards, 4X6 post cards or Roladex
cards. The primary purpose of the program is to print post cards, and
address them for the User. Post cards cost 1/3 the price of a letter and in
some cases are equally as good ie meeting notices, invitations, change of
address. This program is a update for an earlier Unicorn Software release
called FORWARD2. {$20}
DayMaster - The program provides User with trivia, birthdays,
anniversaries for a particular date, but also allows User to include their
own information for any date. It also gives a quote for the day, and
informs User of any reminders (Weekly/Daily/Monthly/Single/Annual/Range Of
Dates) the User might have. All of this can take place at boot up or any
other time User activate the program. The data file contains over 2000
historical events and quotes. {$20}
The OMNI* Series
OMNIDiZk - A disk cataloger and labeling utility. Features: Reads a
floppy into memory and lets User save the data (The saving is optional);
Print out 4 X 1 7/16 or 3 X 15/16 labels as well as catalogs; Perform Find!
searches on any files that User has saved; Print lists of every file name
in the data file; Allow complete Updates of disks or of just the title
info; Lets User enter a 23 character title, 3 character code and two lines
of remarks up to 52 characters each; Lets User set the data and read
drives. {$20}
OMNIDay - Handles up to 10 Users with PassCode protection for privacy,
optional encryption of data with 10,000 possibilities per User, automatic
entry of text date line, and a full function text editor with online Help.
The data file is dynamic (only as large as entries) and can be located on
any drive. Daily entries can be from 1 to 5000 lines with the ability to
change history (Alter Entry) and the ability to make history vanish (Erase
Entry). The Reminisce feature allows User to 'thumb' through entries.
Prints out the entire opus or selected dates. User names the opus and
enters their name into program for use on screen and in print outs. {$25}
The Comp* Series
CompUser - A rated cyclopedia with the names, addresses and phone numbers
of shareware distributors, hardware companies, authors, computer clubs,
BBSs and more. Almost 2000 entries are in the complete database and it is
updated almost daily with revisions being mailed out every 120 days. The
program creates, edits & prints post cards, address labels and more. It
will also import new data and allow the User to change the data in the
file. Great for clubs (looking for authors and distributors), shareware
authors (looking for markets), shareware libraries (looking for authors),
BBS Users (looking for new BBSs) and the average Comp{ter}User (looking for
all of the above). All entries are rated A,B,C,D, or F for size of
operation and the way that they conduct business. This alone makes it
worthwhile because Users can avoid poorly rated businesses that have
historical problems and lack good customer service. {$30/Year}
The *4D Series
