Program Name & Category:
------------------------
OMNIDay - Suggested categories are: Desk Calander, Desk Top Productivity,
Educational, Word Processor, Home or Misc.
Description:
------------
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:
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
* Import and Export Text

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.
Hardware Requirements: 256K RAM, IBM graphics/laser printers,
mono or colour monitor, can operate on one/two or hard disk
drives.
Other Requirements: MS-DOS 2.11 or higher.
Registration Information:

Vendor Update Program:
----------------------
Most vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They get
them from other vendors, BBSs, etc. Most authors cannot afford to mail
disks to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of vendors. However, some vendors
prefer to obtain programs directly from the authors. If you would like to
obtain programs directly from us, automatically, then please help us to
cover the cost.
If you are NOT on our current mailing list, but you would still like to
receive automatic updates directly from us, then please take advantage of
our Vendor Update Program. Under this program you can receive updates for
an entire year for only $10 for all 11 programs (this helps to offset our
costs).
To receive updates, simply send us a letter with your name, company name,
mailing address, the name of the person we should contact (such as your
disk librarian), and a check or money order for $10. (Countries outside of
North America please add an additional $10). Payment in U.S. funds drawn on
a U.S. bank only please.
The Vendor Update Program covers all programs in release. For a complete
list see the file UNICORN.COM.
All vendors participating in our Vendor Update Program will automatically
receive any NEW programs which we may release while their Vendor Update
Program is in effect.
The Vendor Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses in
those cases where a vendor desires to obtain the program directly from us.
If you have other standard ways to obtain programs, then you may prefer not
to use our Vendor Update Program.
