FROM THE AUTHOR:
I am a consultant who works for government and the private sector managing
a variety of projects. I needed a program that would allow me to log phone
calls, keep notes (at times extensive) about correspondence and phone
calls, maintain names and addresses and manage a to do list. THE DAILY
CALENDAR is the main tool I use in managing my office and my work, and I
use it to print appointment schedules, phone number lists, labels, form
letters, memos and lists of items to do.
THE DAILY CALENDAR program is a daily diary and calendar, a name and
address database and a to-do list manager. It was written to permit
tracking projects, phone calls, letters, clients and accounts.
THE DAILY CALENDAR program was written to be simple, easy and menu-driven.
The documentation is provided to give you a quick tour of the program. The
best way to see how it works is to use it and experiment with the features.
FEATURES:
This program provides a daily calendar, to do list manager name and address
database, label, list and form letter utilities and an extensive ability to
query data for output. It is menu-driven and includes:
Daily appointment calendar - keeps appointments and prints calendars.
Allows entry of multiple appointments and unlimited text entry.
Extensive record-keeping ability - any amount of text can be added to any
calendar entry. This feature allows logging conversations, keeping records
and tracking projects and correspondence. Text can also be imported or
exported.
Text search ability - entries can be retrieved and assembled into a
document by seaching for key words or phrases.
To do list - manages a list of items by category, priority or date.
Dialer - can dial home or work numbers from within the daily calendar.
Name and address database - keeps names, phone numbers, birthdays and other
information at hand. Multiple databases can be created.
List manager - produces phone, address and other lists.
Form letters - produces field replacement form letters.
Labels - produces mailing labels in a number of styles.
File manager - manages files on your hard disk, enabling easy import or
export of text.
Printer support - support for basic printing for 100 printers.
Word processor output - supports output to ASCII text files suitable for
use with any word processor. Also supports the creation of secondary merge
files for popular word processors.
Extensive data querying capability - data can be queried when building
lists, preparing form letters, printing labels and creating merge files.

GETTING STARTED:
Hardware requirements: Daily Calendar requires an IBM-compatible machine
with 512K to 640K minimum memory, depending of DOS version. It runs with
DOS 3.X or higher, including DOS 5. A hard disk is required. The program
supports all types of monitors. On color monitors, colors can be changed.
On laptops, the program can run in color or mono modes, with mono
recommended for best viewing. A modem is not required, but if present can
be used to dial phone numbers. Modems using the basic Hayes AT command set
are supported, and modem commands can be entered for non-standard modems.
Autoexec.bat and config.sys considerations - The Daily Calendar uses a
number of files and you MUST have a line in your config.sys file that says
files=75 to tell DOS that up to 75 files can be open. (This program does
not use 75 files, but this is a safe number to give you adequate file
handles for any software.) In addition, to let the program know it can open
its files you MUST have a line in your autoexec.bat that says SET
CLIPPER=//F75. If you do not understand this paragraph or need help, call
the support number (619-435-2687).
The escape key: The escape key is the abort or go back key at almost every
point in the program. If you want out of an operation, hit escape.
The F1 key: F1 brings up help at many places in the program and you can
write your own help screen or edit existing help by pressing Alt-F1 instead
of F1. If you press Shift-F1, you will see this documentation on screen.
Installation: Copy the files into a new subdirectory. To make a new
subdirectory, from the DOS prompt type MD <name>. Then type CD <name> to
change to that directory. If you received this program in the ZIP archive
form (DAY32B.ZIP) from a bulleting board, unzip the files into the new
directory. If you received it as the self-extracting archive in EXE form
(DAY32B.EXE), copy the file to the subdirectory and type DAY32B to extract
the files.
Configuration: After installing the files, type DAY from the DOS prompt.
The program will then present you with two configuration screens, shown
below.

If in doubt, select the default values. On the first screen, the options are:
Enter printer port (NONE, LPT1, LPT2, COM1, COM2): Default LPT1. The port
to which your printer is attached. This is usually parallel port one
(LPT1). If you specify a printer port, the program will attempt to
initialize the printer each time it starts. If you have no printer or the
printer is turned off, you will receive an error message asking you to turn
the printer on and try again, proceed anyway (aborting printer
initialization) or select another port. If you do not have a printer
connected or do not plan to print anything select the NONE option for the
port to avoid the printer error message.
Enter backup interval in days: Default 14 days. The program makes a backup
copy of your calendar database. This option selects how often it should
make this copy.
Do you want monochrome screens (Y/N)? : Default NO. The program knows what
kind of monitor you have and will run in color or monochrome automatically.
This option is mainly for laptop users who want monochrome screens because
they are easier to see.
Do you want calendars printed with headings (Y/N)? : Default YES.
Calendars can be printed plain or with your name as a heading.
Do you want blank times printed (Y/N)? : Default YES. Calendars can be
printed with or without blank times included.
Do you want page breaks after each day (Y/N)? : Default YES. Calendars can
be printed one day per page or multiple days per page.
Enter left margin (0-40): Default 5 and line length (40-254): Default 65.
These options set the left printer margin and the line length in
characters. The right margin is the total of the two, or default 70. This
should be fine for most printers in draft, 10 characters per inch. If you
use compressed print, adjust the margins accordingly. The left margin and
line length for half-sheet notebook paper fed through a laser printer and
printed in compressed print are 35 and 68.
Enter the page length in lines (0-100, 0=continuous): Default 59. This
options sets the lines per page. If you enter 0, printing will be
continuous. The page length for half-sheet notebook paper fed through a
laser printer is 55.
Pause after each printed page (Y/N)? : Default NO. If you are feeding
paper manually, change this option to YES.
Enter top margin in lines: Default 1. Change this if you want printing
starting lower on the page. Do not use a top margin greater than 24 lines.
Current printer is : Default NONE. Change it (Y/N)? : Default NO. Use this
option to select a printer. If you answer YES to change printer, you will
be presented with a list of about 100 printers. Chose your printer or the
one that matches the list most closely. You will then be presented with
default printing options in type size and lines per inch for the calendar
functions and another choice for the name and address functions. You can
also change the default printing mode from either the calendar or name and
address main screens.
PAGE 5
Printer support is intended to provide basic output. If you need or want
multiple fonts, italics, bold, underline or other print enhancements, send
your output to a disk file and use your wordprocessor to add the extras.
Configure calendar: Your calendar may be a 24 hour calendar in one-hour
increments or a twelve hour calendar in half-hour increments, starting at
any time you choose. For most people, a twelve hour calendar beginning at
7:00 am or 8:00 am is a good choice. If you make the wrong choice, go to
the main menu, select Database Utilities and then the reset option to start
over.
After making these choices, you will see the next screen for configuring
the dialer to match your modem. If you are using a Hayes-compatible modem,
the defaults should work.
You do need to check which serial port your modem works through (usually
COM1 or COM2), and you do need to enter your area code, long distance
prefix and number, if any, to obtain an outside line. If you are going to
use your dialer, you must enter all phone numbers with the area code in the
name and address database in the following format (XXX)-XXX-XXXX.
If your modem is configured as COM3 or COM4, DOS must be able to recognize
these ports for the dialer to work. This usually requires running a
separate utility program, even if your modem can be set to run as COM3 or
COM4 without running a separate program. A port testing option is included
in the program to be sure your printer and communications ports are
recognized and functioning. The port testing program will test LPT1
through LPT4 and COM1 through COM8. The program checks to be sure the
communications port is responding when starting and if you do not plan to
use the dialer, enter NONE for the port to avoid the error message.
The modem command delay is the number of seconds to wait between modem
commands. Many modems cannot handle multiple commands in rapid succession,
and this delay gives them time to process one command before attempting
another.
It is unlikely any modem will require more than 2 seconds and
most will work with the default 0.5 second default delay.

At this screen, you may type as much as you wish, remembering that the
first twenty characters will show by the time when you are at the three
month calendar screen. It is usually best to type a name or location first
(DENTIST or Joe Smith, for example).
You may enter as much text as you wish (up to a practical limit of about
64K or 32 pages). The screen will scroll down as you type. Main editing
keys are the same as the Wordstar format, with Ctrl-Y deleting a line,
Ctrl-T deleting a word, Ctrl-B reformatting a paragraph, etc.
While on this screen, you have a number of options. If you press F1 for
help, you will see the choices. They are:
Esc - abort and abandon anything you typed.
F10 - save and quit.
F7 - print this entry now. You will have a choice of making it a memo.
F6 - export entry to a text file. This option allows you to create an
ASCII text file from the entry that may be used with any word processor.
F5 - import a text file to an entry. This option allows you to import an
ACSII text file to the entry. Options are: loading a preset form created
with your word processor or exported from the Daily Calendar, attaching a
letter to the entry, etc. Documents must have been saved in your word
processor with the Save Text or Save DOS File option or they will contain
your word processor's control characters.
F4 - go to to-do list. Pressing F4 will take you directly to the to-do
list manager. This will allow you to create a to-do item as a result of an
appointment or phone call.
F3 - start/stop timer. This option is useful for timing phone calls or
simply stamping your entries with the exact time you made them. Pressing F3
starts the timer. Pressing F3 again stops the timer. When you stop the
timer, you will be prompted to enter keywords to assist in text retrieval.
F2/AltF2 - names. Pressing F2 pops up a screen of names and addresses,
shown below. Your choices are: F5 - dial work, F6 - dial home, F2 - lookup
name (type a letter to begin search), (spacebar) - transfer information
without dialing, Esc - quit. When you dial a person or transfer data by
pressng the spacebar, the person's name and phone numbers are written into
your daily calendar entry automatically.
If you press AltF2 instead of F2, you may add names to the name and address
database.

If you choose SET COLORS, you will be asked to choose simple or complex.
Simple give you a number of preset color combinations. Complex lets you
change everything to whatever you want.
If you JUMP TO DOS, remember to return to the same directory before typing
EXIT to return to the program.
The DATABASE UTILITIES options allow you to delete databases, reindex the
databases or reset the program entirely. These choices affect the calendar
and to do databases, not the name and address database.

The TEST PORT option allows you to check your parallel and serial ports to
see if the program recognizes them. Remember when testing ports that a
device (printer or modem) must be attached to the port, turned on and on
line. When testing COM3 and COM4, you will have the option to initialize
them so DOS will recognize them. If you have a modem or printer installed
as COM3 or COM4, test the port first and initialize and retest it if it
shows not ready. If you are using another utility to intialize COM3 and/or
COM4, this should not be necessary.
The Daily Calendar writes to COM ports through DOS BIOS services. If you
install your printer and your modem both as the same COM port, you will
have problems and probably bizarre results. If you have COM3 and COM4
available in an add-on board or directly by setting switches or jumpers on
your modem to COM3 or COM4, DOS will probably not recognize the additional
ports unless you run a separate utility program. (DOS only support COM1
and COM2. COM3 and COM4 support involve a little trickery.) There are a
number of utilities that enable DOS to recognize COM3 and COM4. If you
cannot find one or have problems, call the support number (619-435-2687)
and we will try to help. DOS reports parallel ports ready if there is a
printer attached and on line or if there is no printer cabled to the port.
The PRINTER MODE DEFAULT option allows you to change the print mode for the
calendar functions.

Mailing labels:
Label definitions can be saved to disk, and you can customize label entries
easily. When entering field information, follow the instructions given.
You will probably want to edit inserted field data so that it formats
properly. Use the form TRIM(FNAME)+" "+TRIM(LNAME) to print the first and
last names separated by a single space. There are two sample label files
that shows how to use this syntax to produce home (HOME) and work (WORK)
address mailing labels. The samples are set for three-across labels and
should be printed in 10CPI, 6LPI print mode.

records you want and you can select records based on up to ten matches in
the notes field. If you print the memo field, it will print a line below
the other items for the record to avoid wrapping. List definitions can be

The PACK option permanently removes deleted records.
The ZAP option permanently removes ALL records.
The REINDEX option rebuilds your index file.
The SELECT ADDRESS DATABASE option lets you switch from one address
database to another. You may have as many as you like, but only one will
be active at a time. The current address book is always shown at the
bottom of the screens.
The COPY RECORDS TO A NEW ADDRESS DATABASE allows you to copy some or all
of the records in the current database to a new one or to create a new,
blank database. You may choose all records, query matches or tagged
records.
The APPEND RECORDS FROM ANOTHER DATABASE allows you to add records to one
database from another. You will be asked what database to append to and
what database to append from. You will then see the screen below:

If you are appending from an address database you created in this program,
simply press F10 to complete the append. If you want to append from any
dBASEIII or Clipper database, this screen enables you to match up the
fields and translate them into proper format. This is a powerful option to
allow you to import databases created by other programs. If the other
database cannot be opened because it is an incompatible form, you will see
a message. This intelligent append works with dBASEIII and Clipper created
databases, but not with dBASEIV databases.
PAGE 21
The FIELD REPLACEMENT option is a powerful tool to change the contents of
any fields in any databases. It was written to facilitate changing area
codes as new area codes go into service, but is can be used to replace all
or part of any field in any database, replacing all records or records
matching a query. If you choose this option, you will be presented with
screens to select the database, the field to replace, the choice of
building a query and the option to replace all or part of the field.

You can JUMP TO DOS, as in the Calendar program.
You can FILL LAST NAME FIELD WITH COMPANY. This option is useful if you
have only the company name and no first or last name entered. Filling the
last name field with the company name makes it easier to browse the
database.
You can REVERSE LAST NAME FILL. This option undoes the FILL LAST NAME WITH
COMPANY action.
The next option, MODIFY DATABASE, allows you to add new fields to the basic
name and address database structure. The option was added at the request
of some users who want custom fields. While you are given the option to
create a newe database from scratch, this is NOT recommended, unless you
use REDBOOK as a template. The program relies on the name and address
database having certain fields and if you create a new database without
those fields or with different field names, the program will crash.
If you need more fields or custom fields, create a new, blank database with
the copy records to a new database option and then add fields to that
database. If you do this, you will see the Structure Moidification screen
below:

If you modify a database by adding new fields, you will not be able to edit
them with the normal Edit and Append routine because the program cannot
know what fields you have added. To enter data into your new fields,
choose EDIT MODIFIED DATABASE. (When printing lists, labels or letters
from your modified database, you will have access to your new fields.) The
EDIT MODIFIED DATABASE option will present you with a generic data entry

THE QUERY FUNCTION:
The query builder is available when creating lists, copying records or
producing output. You will see an option that asks if you want all
rercords, tagged records or records matching the query. If you choose the
query option, you will enter the query builder.
The query builder allows you to define a condition which a record must meet
in order for the record to be included in the filter. While the query is
active, only the records that meet the condition you have specified will be
presented for viewing, editing, printing, etc. The other records in your
database are still there, but they are temporarily filtered out. When the
filter is turned off, all your records are available for use again.
When you select the query builder, you will be presented with the following
menu:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

Here is how to build a query:
When you select Build a new Query, you will be presented with a list of the
fields in the database you are working with. Here is an example:

Place the lite bar over the field you want, and press Enter to select the
field.
Note: the Deleted option allows you to work with records you may have
marked for deletion but have not yet purged from the database.
When you select a field, you will be asked if you wish to further define
the field you have selected. You will be asked:
Extend field LNAME with EXPRESSION BUILDER ?
No Yes
The default answer in No. In most cases, this is what you will want. If you
have some particular need to further refine the selection of data in the
field you have chosen, you can answer Yes.
If you answer Yes, you will be presented with a menu of choices appropriate
to the type of field you have selected, i.e., character, numeric, date,
logical, or memo field.
PAGE 25
Here are the choices if the field type is character:
E X P R E S S I O N B U I L D E R
QUIT and return current expression
TEST against database (WYSIWYG)
UNDO last change
HELP help with expression builder
EXTRACT subset or rearrange
JUSTIFY left right centered
CASE uppercase lowercase proper
MOVE spaces to end of string
ADD or imbed characters
SUBSTITUTE one value for another
DIFFERENT change to date or numeric
Select QUIT to leave the expression builder.
Select TEST to test your expression against the current database.
Select UNDO to undo your most recent change while using the expression
builder.
Select HELP for brief help on using the expression builder.
Select EXTRACT if you wish to work with only those records that contain a
desired portion of the data in the character field. For example, assume the
character field you have selected contains a ten character code, and you
want to work with only those codes that contain A99 in the first three
spaces. You could select EXTRACT, then Left 3 characters on the next
screen. The query expression would become LEFT(ITEM,3).
After Quitting to the next screen, you would specify EXACTLY EQUAL TO, and
then A99. If you then Viewed records matching the Query, you would see
only records which contained A99 in the first three spaces of the item code
field.
When you return to the main menu, the query expression will be displayed in
the Status box at the bottom of the screen to remind you that the only
records that are active are those which meet the query expression.
Select JUSTIFY if you wish the right justified, left justified, or centered
field data to match some value you are going to specify. An example of a
situation in which you might use this capability would be where you suspect
blank spaces might have been entered in the field, e.g., " A99" instead of
"A99". By specifying left justified here, and specifying EXACTLY EQUAL TO
A99 at the next screen, you will get all the A99 records, even those where
blanks might have been entered by mistake at the beginning of the field
data.
Select CASE if you wish the upper-cased, lower-cased, or properized (first
letter capitalized) field data to match some value you are going to specify
in the next step.
PAGE 26
Select MOVE to move all spaces, or all but single spaces to the end of a
string. For example:
"Merry Christmas to all" becomes "Merry Christmas to all " if you move
all but single spaces to the end, and "MerryChristmastoall " if you
move all spaces to the end.
Select ADD if you wish to add or imbed particular characters in the query
expression in order to compare that expression to some value you will
specify in the next step.
Select SUBSTITUTE if you want to have the filter substitute one string of
characters for another string so that appropriate matching can take place
against some value you will specify in the next step.
Select DIFFERENT if you wish to have the filter convert characters to
numeric or date format so that appropriate matching can take place against
some value you will specify in the next step.
Other appropriate options for expression building are presented when you
select a numeric, date, logical, or memo field.
The basic idea is that the expression builder allows you to further define
the field data you want to match some value you are going to specify in the
next step.
Whether you have used the Expression Builder or not, the next step in
defining your query is presented with the following menu if the field you
are working with is a character field:

│└[ # of columns needed: 175]──────────────────────────────────────────┘│
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
PAGE 27
What you are being asked to do here is to tell the query builder how you
want the field data (or the expression you defined in the expression
builder) to be compared to some value.
For example, if the field you selected is LNAME, you can tell the query
builder here that the field contents must be exactly equal to SMITH, that
the field contains JONES, that the field contents begin or end with some
value, etc.
Similar appropriate options for field content comparisons are presented
when you select a numeric, date, logical, or memo field.
When you have finished defining the query expression for the field you
selected, you will be presented with the following choices:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│┌───[List Builder]───────────────────────────────┐ │
││ Pick fields to list │ [Query Active] │

││ LNAME, ││
││ ││
│└[ # of columns needed: 21]──────────────────────────────────────────┘│
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
If you are done, select DONE and you will be returned to the main query
builder menu. If you wish to include other field specifications in the
query expression, you can select one of the other options, as appropriate,
and repeat the same procedure as above.
For example, say your query expression at this point is something like
LNAME = "SMITH", and you wanted to work with only those SMITHs who live in
California. Assuming your database contains a two character STATE field,
you would:
1. select AND instead of DONE.
2. select STATE from the field list.
3. select EXACTLY EQUAL TO or CONTAINS (CONTAINS is often better)
4. enter CA for the state name.
5. select DONE.
Your query expression now contains the appropriate references to both
fields.
PAGE 28
When you have created your query expression, Query Active will flash on the
screen. You can now Quit the query builder and return to the main menu, or
select another option from the query builder menu.
If you Quit, you will return to the main menu where the query expression
will be displayed in the Status box at the bottom of the screen to remind
you that the only records that are active are those which meet the query
expression. You can toggle the filter (query expression) off by selecting
Filter again from the main menu.
The other query builder menu options are fairly self-explanatory.
One of these options, Edit current Query, allows you to modify the query
expression yourself. Any valid dBase or Clipper function may be used. For
example, if you wanted to specify the trim (field data stripped of any
trailing blanks) of a character field called LNAME, you could edit the
query expression to include TRIM(LNAME).
Querying memo fields:
The NOTES field is a memo field and if you query it, you will see the
screen below:
You may choose CONTAINS, IS EMPTY or IS NOT EMPTY.

PAGE 29
If you choose CONTAINS, you will then see the next screen below. You may
now enter up to ten words or items separated by the semicolon. The query
will then separate records that contain any one (or more) of the words or
items in the NOTES field.

The query builder is a very powerful, flexible tool and can be used to
produce labels, letters or lists with just the records you want.
PAGE 30
HISTORY:
Version 3.0 - First commercial release. Written and compiled with Clipper
5.0
Version 3.1 - Enhancement and bug fix. Written and compiled with Clipper
5.01.
Version 3.2 - Checks to see if COM ports are active, enhanced critical
error handler, new function to check if index files are current. Also
added intelligent append, mailmerge file creator and structure modification
utility.
Version 3.2B - Added feature to initialize COM3 and COM4 if needed. Fixed
calendar printing error. Added a memory check diagnostic (press Ctrl-F1)
for users who might have memory concerns. Changed designation of SET
CLIPPER command to deal with Clipper 5.01's need to see this environment
string as SET CLIPPER=//F75.
FOR ANY PROBLEMS OR ERRORS, please call the support number, 619-435-2687.
You will receive a call back and prompt help.
PAGE 31
ERRORS:
The program traps critical errors (DOS and system errors). If one of these
occurs and the problem is not immediately apprarent (tried to write to an
invalid drive, a write-protected disk, etc.), you will see any error
screen. Print this screen with Shift-PrScr and call the support number
(619-435-2687). If an error occurs, two files will be written to disk,
CLIPn.ERR and CLIPn.MEM. These files contain error information.

COMMON QUESTIONS:
Q. The program is over 600,000 bytes. Don't I need 600K of free memory to
run it?
A. No. The program has a load size of 326K, which means that you should
have no problem running it on a machine with 512K or 640K of memory. The
reason the program file is so large is because this file contains all the
overlay files which are often separate files in other programs. If you
are low on memory because you have a number of terminate and stay resident
(TSR) programs loaded, you will see an error warning. If want to see how
much memory is free after loading, press Ctrl-F1, which gives you a listing
of memory available and memory installed.
PAGE 32
Q. Why are there only about 100 printers listed? Mine isn't.
A. The printers listed are those that contain basic command sets that
enable the programs basic printer support. You shoud choose the printer
closest to the one you have. As an example, if you have a Panasonic
printer, the Panasonic K-XP1091 choice will most likely work.
If you have a Panasonic 1124, it runs in a default Epson LQ mode, and the
Epson LQ choice would be right. If you have a Hewlitt Packard Laserjet+,
II, III, IIP or IIIP, the Laserjet +/II/III choice will work.
Most newer printers have emulation mode that make them operate as Epsons if
they are dot matrix and as Laserjet IIs if they are laser printers. This
is much better standardization than used to exist, and if your printer will
emulate and Epson FX or LQ or a Laserjet II, you can be guaranteed the
program will work right.
Many older printers are included in the list because their commands were
not standardized and they rarely had emulation modes. They are included
because there are a lot of them still in use.
Remember that the program does not provide support for all the fonts and
features your printer may offer. If you want to use these features, simply
output your text to file and use your wordprocessor to add the
enhancements.
Q. This program doesn't work right on my good old AMSTRAD/TANDY/AT&T/etc.
A. The program requires a high degree of IBM compatibility for video
display because it writes directly to the screen. The program supports all
IBM video modes, but some older, non-IBM equipment did not handle direct
screen writes in an IBM manner. If you have problems, call the support
number. In general, if you can run newer software satisfactorily without
install special video drivers, DAILY CALENDAR should run as well.
PROBLEMS:
Unexplained errors - "cannot open file xxx", "out of environment". Check
your config.sys file for a line that says files=75 and check your
autoexec.bat file for a line that says SET CLIPPER=//F75.
Not enough memory error - The actual load size of the program is 321K. The
program has been tested and runs on 512K - 640K machines running under DOS
3.X, 4.01 and 5.0. If you see this error, check to see how many terminate
and stay resident (TSR) programs are loaded. If you have a number of them,
you may not have 415K of free memory. Reduce the number of TSRs and try
again. If this fails, call the support number (619-435-2687) with the
following information in hand: machine type, total RAM, TSRs in use, DOS
version.
PAGE 33
Crashes - If the program crashes, look for a message at the top line of the
screen or if you are thrown out to DOS, look for a message above the DOS
prompt. Write down any messages you see and call the support number. You
may also see a screen like the one below. If this happens, try to PrtScr
the screen or write down the information. Then call the support number.
Printers - The printer support is not intended to take advantage of every
font and feature your printer has, but is to enable you to produce basic
printed output from the program. If you need fancy features, output to a
text file and use your word processor to add the fine touches. The printer
database does not include every printer ever made, but has enough choices
to make it unlikely that your printer will not work.
Port conflicts, COM3 and COM4 problems - The Daily Calendar writes to COM
ports through DOS BIOS services. If you install your printer and your
modem both as the same COM port, you will have problems and probably
bizarre results. If you have COM3 and COM4 available in an add-on board or
directly by setting switches or jumpers on your modem to COM3 or COM4, DOS
will probably not recognize the additional ports unless you run a separate
utility program or initialize the ports from the port test function. (DOS
only support COM1 and COM2. COM3 and COM4 support involve a little
trickery.) There are a number of utilities that enable DOS to recognize
COM3 and COM4. In addition, the port test function allows you to
initialize COM3 and/or COM4 before testing. If you have problems, call the
support number (619-435-2687) and we will try to help.

DIALING TROUBLE-SHOOTING:
Problem: Dialing function does not work.
Solution: If you are using a version of DAILY CALENDAR earlier than
Version 3.2B, call the support number and we will send you the new version.
Version 3.2B has enhanced modem and port checking.
Modems are anything but standard and the following are the most typical
problems encountered:
Port checking has been disabled. Press Alt-Q to turn it on. The hot key
to disable/enable port checking was included for laptop users who did not
want errors when the program tried to check non-existent printers and modems.
When you press Alt-Q, you will see a message telling you whether port
checking is ENABLED or DISABLED. It needs to be ENABLED for dialing to work.
The modem set-up string is not correct. In the configuration, you need to
specify three strings to be sent to your modem. The first is the modem reset
command (ATZ) for Hayes-compatible modems. The second is the modem dialing
command, ATDT for touch-tone lines and ATDP for pulse-only lines. The third
is the modem initialization string. This should be in your modem manual.
If in doubt, try the program with the default commands given at the time of
installation. These are generic Hayes AT command set strings and will work
with 90% of modems.
The modem command delay is too short. Some modems require as much as two
seconds to process commands. You can set the modem command delay in the
configuration. The default value should be adequate for most modems.
The wrong communications port is selected. In the configuration, you need
to specify what COM port your modem is connected to, and this is usually
COM1 or COM2. For many internal modems, it is COM3, and this is a special
case. For internal modems configured as COM3, run the port test option from
the "Other" option of the main menu. For COM ports above COM2, you will
have the option to test or to initialize and test. Try just testing first.
If this does not work, try initializing and testing. If you install your
modem as COM3-COM8, the program will automatically initialize the port when
you start the program.
The problems with dialing lie with DOS and modems, not the DAILY CALENDAR
program, which was written to dial by using the simplest DOS calls to dial
out, specifically to avoid as many modem problems as possible.
If all else fails, call the support number and we will help you. In the most
extreme cases, we have had to read the modem manual over the phone to find
the right commands, but we have never failed to put the dialing feature
into operation. Modems are anything but standard and we are happy to help
you get yours working.

KEY COMMANDS:
These commands work anywhere within the program:
F1 - Calls help, which is available at many points.
Shift F1 - Brings documentation up on screen.
Ctrl F1 - Memory check if you think you have memory problems.
Alt F3 - Simple calculator.
Ctrl Q - Toggles port checking. If you do not want the printer or
modem ports checked and initialized, press Ctrl Q. You will
see a message that port checking is disabled. To enable
checking, press Ctrl Q again. You will see a message that port
checking is ENABLED and the program will then initialize your
printer.
Ctrl S - Saves a screen to a file. You are asked for a filename and
the last filename you used this session is remembered. If you
use the same filename or choose an existing filename, the
screen will be appended to the end of the file. To print
these screens from a wordprocessor, set margins/font to
accommodate an 80 character width.
