SHORT DESCRIPTION:
PC displays a three-month scrollable calendar, a running analog and digital
clock, and a time-oriented event list and a text note list, each 300 in
capacity. A modifiable historical tracking is made of events and notes, all
printable. Warnings and alarms tell when something is pending or overdue.
Driven by a simple flexible menu interface, Personal Calendar can be a TSR (pop
up program) or not, as you choose; TSR use interrupts you at the earliest
event. As a TSR, an extremely small 6K byte kernel remains in DOS memory, with
the balance swapped to EMS or disk. TSR programming is extremely stable and
environment-sensitive. Personal Calendar is written by Paul Munoz-Colman, a
member of the Association of Shareware Professionals.
LONG DESCRIPTION:
PERSONAL CALENDAR is a program that graphically displays a running clock, the
current three months of calendars, and *your* appointments, on the screen. The
current month's calendar is in the center. The calendar's months can be
scrolled back or forward a month at a time or moved to *any* date in a 10,000
year range, instantly, with the touch of a key. The calendar's digital and
analog clock updates every second, and displays the date and time in 12- and
24-hour formats, and also shows the Julian Date.
At the bottom of the screen is a window of notes (those things you want to be
reminded of that aren't tied to a certain time), and a window of events (those
that *are* time oriented). Each time you put in an event, the calendar day is
highlighted in reverse video. The two windows of notes and events are actually
the top-most entries in lists which can also be viewed in their entirety at a
keystroke, and can be in the hundreds in size.
Many options for events are available: one-time, daily, weekly, bi- or
multi-weekly, monthly, specific week day of the month, quarterly, and yearly.
Events may be scheduled to repeat indefinitely, or to repeat a specific number
of times. Once an event or a note "becomes history" it is stored in a history
file for your later reference (and modification if you choose).
The print capability will print a list of events separated by weeks, notes
(optionally turn it off), and history (optionally turn it on), along with the
three current calendars, just perfect for folding up into your pocket or purse!
Print options work well with single sheet, or fanfold paper too. Special
support for the newest HP and IBM laser printers is also included.
PERSONAL CALENDAR is designed to work in pretty much any IBM clone environment,
from 8088 PC to 80486 AT, and from DOS 2.01 to 4.01. Beta testers have
reported that it also works on MS DOS 5.0 (as yet unreleased). Monochrome and
color monitors alike are supported (with colors you can fit to your taste).
The program can work by itself, or will run in the background as a TSR, taking
the least possible memory and disk space when it's running (it will swap places
with whatever is in memory when it pops up, and now shrinks to a paltry 6,000
bytes (!) when it goes back to sleep).
The program does all its screen displays in text mode, making it widely usable
by those whose systems have no graphics capabilities. In the other extreme, it
is smart enough to pop up over graphics programs of almost all types (CGA,
Hercules, EGA, VGA, MCGA), and knows how to coexist with all BIOS modes from 0
to 19 ... which is almost the entire range (SVGA is being worked on)!
PERSONAL CALENDAR is professionally constructed. Every screen tells you what
you can do next in the simplest one-keystroke terms, giving you logical menus
most of the time. Every new version of the program is *always* upward
compatible, and every effort is made to have your upgrades to new versions be
effortless and invisible, with *your* appointment information and option
choices preserved, *at all costs*! PERSONAL CALENDAR is a must in your file
collection! PC is written in Microsoft's Professional BASIC 7.10, with help
from MicroHelp add-on libraries.
PERSONAL CALENDAR has a 30 day FREE evaluation period so you can see if you
like it. PC's author, Paul Munoz-Colman, is a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP), has been a software designer and programmer
for 26 years, and programs according to the highest professional standards.
REGISTRATION INFORMATION.
Complete registration information is provided in REGISTER.DOC. A registered
user receives the latest version of the program on diskette with a special key
file which displays user name and serial number, good for all future versions
of the program. Registered user mode has optional startup and pop down screen
bypass for faster use.
