- Purpose
- -------
- A diary program which includes the ability to repeat a given line of text at
- regular intervals.
-
-
- To use
- ------
- Double click on the icon in the filer window, to load the application. Then
- open the main window by clicking on the icon on the icon bar. The icon at
- the top of the window will show today's date, and the main area will show
- any text, if a file has been loaded. Click on the right arrow icon with
- the left hand mouse button (select) to increase the day by one, and on the
- left arrow icon with the left hand mouse button (select) to decrease the day
- by one. Using the right hand mouse button (adjust) reverses the effect.
- Click on the middle mouse button (menu) on the window to open up the main
- menu. From here, it is possible to set repeat options, goto a specific date,
- edit a line, give information about the program, save the diary file, and
- quit the program.
-
- Repeat : Sets the repeat option for the line you clicked the button over.
- The repeat can be set to Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, and
- Off.
- Daily shows that line of text on every day,
- Weekly shows that line of text on every day of the week that is
- the same as the original entry, i.e. selecting Weekly on an
- entry entered on a Monday, will show that entry every Monday
- Monthly shows that line of text on the same date of the month,
- every month, i.e. selecting Monthly on an entry entered on
- 6th June will show that entry on 6th Jan, 6th Feb, etc.
- Yearly shows that line of text on the same day of the same month
- every year, e.g. selecting Yearly on an entry entered on 6th
- June will show that entry on 6th June every year.
- Incrementing does the same as Yearly, except an occurrence of %Y
- will be replaced by the number of years from the first
- occurrence. e.g. if an entry was entered for the 1/1/81 as
- "Joe Bloggs' birthday (%Y)" then on the 1/1/82 it would show
- up as "Joe Bloggs' birthday (1)" etc...
- Off removes any repeat, so that that entry is only shown on that
- particular day, in that month, of that year.
-
- Goto : The writeable icon allows you to go to a specific date, e.g.
- 6/7/89. It is not necessary to pad the day or month to two
- figures, and if two figures for the year are given, it is
- assumed to be in the 1900s, i.e. the last example would go to
- the 6th July 1989.
- Today allows you to go to todays entry.
- Find prev finds the previous entry in the file.
- Find next finds the next entry in the file.
-
- Edit : Delete line will delete the line of text that the mouse button
- was clicked over.
- Clear window deletes all entries on that day. If a repeated
- option is set from another day, and would appear then that
- entry is temporarily deleted, but going forward a day, and
- then back one causes the entry to appear again.
-
- Info : Shows program info.
-
- Save : Allows you to save the diary file. Enter a full pathname and
- press RETURN or click on OK, or alternatively, just enter a
- filename and drag the icon to a filer window.
-
- Quit : Quits the program.
-
- On the main window is another icon titled 'coming up', with left and right
- arrows beside it. This lists any events which would occur within a week of
- the date shown at the top of the window. Clicking on the left and right
- arrows steps through these events. If the event shown is at one end of
- the list then clicking on the icon to go further (i.e. left when at the
- first, or right when at the last) will not change the text in the icon,
- although no error will be called. N.B. the list is sorted such that the
- events nearest to the date in the window are shown first.
