Mini Scheduler Version 1.1b
**********
Release Notes
**********
Thank you for downloading Mini Scheduler, I think (hope) you will like
it.
**********
About
**********
Mini Scheduler was designed with the point and click user in mind.
There is nothing complicated to learn. If you want to have a program
start at 11:05 AM, everyday, it's no more than a few clicks of the
mouse and it's done. If you would like your kids to know when it's
time to shut the computer off, same thing. With the two built in
reminder options, you can notify the computer user of anything you
like. With the Auto Start feature, you can start any program or file
you like at any time you like.
This is the first public release of Mini Scheduler, with that in mind
it's called 1.1b. Mini Scheduler was tested and performs as it should,
but it's amazing at how many good suggestions for features and
improvements come in almost immediately, making the next version
resemble little of the first. So whether or not other programs
that are first time releases call themselves betas, they are. For that
reason this is called a "b" release.
The unregistered version is shareware and may be distributed by any
means.
**********
Installation
**********
Simply unzip the contents into a temporary directory and run the setup.
You must be running Windows 95.
**********
Trouble Shooting
**********
For the sake of download time and distribution size, some of the files
that may be necessary to run Mini Scheduler have been intentionally
left out of this zip. This wasn't a haphazard decision, most systems
will already have these files, or most of them. Including them would
double the download time. So for those of you that already have them,
I am sure you appreciate the reduction in size, for those that don't
the problem is easily resolved.
This a list of the missing files.
VB40032.dll
VEN2232.dll
OLEPRO32.olb
MSVCRT20.dll
MSVCRT40.dll
CTL3D32.dll
If you encounter any errors pertaining to these files, I have them
zipped up at my web page. The URL is:
http://webwrite.com/savantguarde/vbasic/runtime.zip
If you downloaded this from msn, you can get them in the "Shareware
Tools Library". If you downloaded this from winsite or some other
archive, they too have these files zipped up, look for vb40032.zip
or something of that nature. Just unzip them all into your
Windows\System directory. The only exception may be the CTL3D32.dll,
which may have to be placed in the Mini Scheduler directory.

Last Minute Notes
**********
Because of the way the Visual Reminder is designed, when it is displayed
no other reminders will activate until it is turned off. Unfortunately
this includes autostarts as well. The idea of having an option that
turns the visual reminders off after a certain period of time, and/or
having the ability to display more than one reminder at a time was
bounced around, and the decision not to add them was made. This can be
over turned by end user input. If this or anything else would be an
option you would like to see, see below.

I would like to hear from you. Whether you decide to register or not,
I would like to know what you think. Anything "CONSTRUCTIVE" whether
positive or negative you could pass along would be be greatly
appreciated.
Registered Users will be notified of any future versions or upgrades.
