 Shareware Reminder 
THIS PROGRAM IS SHAREWARE, IT IS NOT FREE, PLEASE REGISTER YOUR COPY FOR ONLY $10. `
If you think this is too much, send me a postcard of your hometown for a 'light' registration. O
Registering removes all Shareware reminders, and lets you edit bigger memo's. 
The 'light' registration removes the last Shareware reminder, the (probably) annoying message on top of the screen, and lets you edit 8 times as much as the unregistered version. 
Read the (online) documentation (Alt+H, D) for more information. If you want to print the documentation just shell to Dos (Alt+F, D) and use the command: 
  'type cal.doc > prn'
Then use 'exit' to return to CAL.

 Options 
  [X] Extended search (Default is on)
This option determines how CAL responds to Ctrl+Left or Right arrow (Previous or Next Memo). If this option is on CAL searches through every year to find a Memo. On a slow computer, without a cache or harddisk this may take some time if there are many Memo's.

 Cache 
A disk cache is strongly recommended to speed up CAL's performance, especially when you are running CAL from a floppy-disk. A small cache (256 kB) will be sufficient. k
To install the cache that comes with MS-DOS (p) you could add the following command to your AUTOEXEC.BAT: 
  C:\DOS\SMARTDRV 256 256
Use another path if you installed DOS in another directory. The first value specifies the size (in kB) Smartdrive uses in dos. The second value specifies the value used in MS-Windows. d
Specifying no parameters lets Smartdrive figure out the best values for your memory-configuration. +
Any other caches will suffice, of course. 
 Palette Editor 
Change the RGB values for any color by selecting the color, and adjusting the RGB values.

 CAL Search 
This dialog has 2 functions. F
 1. Browsing through all memo's
 2. Searching for keywords in memo's
To use the last function select the Search button. A find dialog appears. After selecting the Ok button only memo's with the search-text are in the list. Select the memo you want to view. The search-text is selected. To search for the next occurrence of the string, press Space, or click with the mouse. 
Use the Reset button to get all entries you had before searching. This means that searching again only searches in the memo's with the previous search-text. 
If you have many memo's and you don't have a cache, it is not recommended to use the Search button! You can cancel the search with Ctrl+Break. *
With ESC you'll go back to the calendar. 
 Find 
Find text, starting at the current cursor position. If Case Sensitive is checked [X], lowercase is differentiated from uppercase. Whole Words on [X] searches... for whole words only. 
 Replace 
Replace found text, it works just like find. 
 Search again 
Repeat last find or replace.
