============================================================================
UPGRADES AND BUG FIXES SINCE VERSION 2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VERSION 2.1 - Released 26th October 1995
========================================
- Lottery Predictor added
- Bug fixes concerning error handling and floppy drive support
- One or two minor cosmetic changes
VERSION 2.2 - Released 2nd January 1996
=======================================
- 'Go to Date' option added. The 'History' function has been combined
with the 'Year' function on the second bank of buttons.
- Import Digita's Organiser files. If you have been using Digita's
Organiser program and have created a Data file, you can place it in
'IMPORT' directory (default DH0:IMPORT) and then select it from the
'IMPORT' option. The entries, including diary entries, addresses
and 'Things to Do' will all be added to your REMDATE file, thus
saving having to re-enter all the entries.
- Message facility added at startup.
- 'Topics' option added. This option allows you to view data files
which are also compatible with Digita's Organiser. Simply move the
required Topic file to the 'Topics' drawer (default DH0:Topics) and
select the option. Clicking on the title on the Index page will
move you straight to the correct page. Data files are available on
the Public Domain. You can also create your own with a Word
Processor or Text Editor. (See main docs for details).
- Updating Print routines to print off 'Topics' in A4 or Organiser
sizes.
- 'Regular Entries' added. This option replaces 'Special Days' and
allows greater flexibility. You can now select entries such as
'every three weeks' or 'once a month on the 3rd Tuesday'. Dates
already entered as 'Special Days' just become Regular Entries 'once
a year'. (See main document file)
- Time sorting of entries. If a time is added anywhere in a Diary
entry, REMDATE will sort them into Time order. The only restrction
is the syntax for the time which MUST be 12 hour clock, with the
AM or PM following straight after the time without a space.
i.e. 7AM, 7.30pm and 3.15PM are all acceptable. 7.25 am or 14.25
are not. Time ranges can be included - the first time found
will be the start time and the second one will be the end time.
e.g. 'Lunch from 12pm to 2pm' and '9.25am Shopping until 12pm'
- REMDATE now checks to see if two entries clash with respect to time
and brings it to your attention once the entry is added.
- Unrestricted entry length. Entries are now displayed with a bullet
point for each new entry and will 'wrap-around' if they are longer
than will fit on one line.
- Scrollable 'Entries for Today'. If there are more than 6 lines of
entries for one day, '(More)' will appear at the top of the box and
you can scroll through the list using 'Alt' & 'Left Amiga' with the
up and down cursor keys.
- 'Point and Click' Editing. Simply place the mouse on the entry you
wish to edit and press the Left Mouse button.
- 'Point and Click' Addresses. If a name is displayed as a Birthday
Entry, then point the mouse at it pressing the right and left mouse
buttons together. The Address Book will be opened and the correct
address displayed, if one has been entered.
- 'Set Date and Time' option. By clicking on the date at the top of
the screen, you can alter the current date and time. If you do not
have a battery backed up clock, the requester will pop up
automatically when you run REMDATE.
- Print Option from Address Book has been added by popular request.
It allows you to either print directly on to an envelope by using
'offsets' or print onto a sheet of paper with telephone numbers
included. It also allows 'auto-punctuation'.
- Bug fixes include a problem which prevented you from adding entries
in the first week or two of January towards the end of December,
the disappearance of the first of the month from the calendar as well
as quite a few that I've forgotten.
- Ability to multitask with other programs and move the REMDATE screen
to the back etc. with Right Amiga + Right Shift + R.
- New print option, 'Month to a Page' on A4 added by popular demand
- Support for NTSC Amigas added 28 Apr 1996
