Easy Reminders (c)
Copyright 1992-1995 James A. Williams. All Rights Reserved.
Version 1.4
January 14, 1995
Introduction
------------
Easy Reminders is a copyrighted, shareware product written for
IBM-compatible personal computers (PC) running the MS-DOS (R) or
Microsoft (R) Windows (TM) operating systems. In order to
install and use the program, you must have an IBM-compatible PC
with at least 410 kilobytes of free disk space, two floppy drives
(at least one must be high density) or a hard disk and
approximately 336 kilobytes of free random access memory (RAM).
This introduction is designed to get you started using Easy
Reminders. Since Easy Reminders is a shareware product, you can
evaluate it for a reasonable period of time to determine whether
you want to purchase the product. Feel free to share this
software with others; they are allowed to evaluate the product
under similar terms. This introduction is not designed to show
you all the details of using the product. Once you order the
product, you will be mailed the current version of Easy Reminders
as well as a printed user's guide.
Easy Reminders was written to provide the capability of
displaying reminders on the monitor when the PC is turned on.
These reminders can also be displayed by executing the program at
any time after the PC is running. An additional option, called
the Alert feature, will display the current date and time when
the PC is first turned on and at any later time. This provides
users of older PC's the ability to make sure the PC is using the
current date and time. This is important for Easy Reminders
since all the reminders are stored in the database and are keyed
to be displayed on a given date.
Some of the most significant features of the program are listed
below:
a. You can store a large number of reminders to be displayed
on a given date.
b. Those reminders can be updated, listed or deleted.
c. A setup module allows you to indicate whether you have a
color or monochrome (or LCD or gas-plasma) monitor.
d. You can order your copy of Easy Reminders from within the
program and have the form printed or sent to a file to be
printed later.
e. A calendar is built into the program to assist you in
determining dates and the date is "pasted" into the
proper field.
f. An Alert feature can be activated to display the PC
system's date and time for accuracy purposes.
g. You can be reminded of an activity as far off as 9,999
days. For example, I am using it to remind me of the
opening of the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.
h. Reminders can be displayed (1) Once (2) Daily (3) Weekly
(4) Monthly (5) Quarterly (6) Semi-annually (7) Annually
or (8) Every X days.
i. Reminders can be automatically deleted after the date has
passed, if you choose.
