CCAALL is a simple calendar/diary program.
CCAALL is shareware! If you like it, pay for it!
CCAALL is cheap! $10 ain't much, isn't it?
CCAALL is easy to use, so this doc will be short:) Most information
is available online with F1, but this doc will get you started.

CCAALL is a combination of a calendar- and a diary program. It is
possible to make notes on a unique day. This is a single event.
There are also weekly, monthly and yearly events.
I myself use the program mainly as a diary, using the single
event feature.
New in this version is a todo-list. When a file is opened, CAL
merges all old todo's to today.
The program uses a neat Turbo-Vision interface. It is very
simple to work with. When you start the program you will start
in the calendar. Navigate with the mouse and the keyboard.
With TAB (and Shift TAB) you can walk through the editors. Press
F1 for a list of editing-keys.
Although the program works fine in 80x25 resolution it is
recommended to use a higher resolution, like 80x28 or higher.
You can use the -l switch to change the number of lines, or
change the configuration.

As mentioned above, CCAALL is shareware. You can test the program
for 3 weeks. If you like it, you'll have to pay for it. If you
don't like it, you are not allowed to use it anymore. However,
after 3 weeks the program still works, but to encourage you to
register, there are some benefits when you pay. Most shareware
programs offer something 'extra' for registered users.
The most important thing is the possibility to edit big memo's.
The unregistered version allows only a minimal 512 characters a
day.
After registration the full potential, more then 65000
characters a day, is available.
The registration fee is only 10 US$
You can pay in any other currency too: Convert the US Dollar
amount to your own currency using the most current (today's)
exchange rate.
If you're rich and if you really like this program, consider
paying more:)
Very important! DDoonn''tt sseenndd cchheeqquueess pplleeaassee.. A 10 dollar cheque
costs me 9 bucks to cash it. So just bills please. No coins
either please, I can't cash them.

If you don't like to send money to programmers, if you don't
like to pay for programs at all, send me a postcard from your
hometown, but make it a nice one! Then you'll get a special
-FREE- limited registration key, good for 4096 characters a day.
You'll have to send your email-address too, of course. If you
don't have email, enclose some money for postage. $2 will do.

Usage: cal [switches].. [files[.ext]]..
-h, --help help
-t, --today today
-p, --pending pending
-f, --file switch is no longer supported
-i, --memory memoryinfo
-l, --lines <lines>: 25, 28, 29, 33, 43 or 50
-c, --color color
-m, --mono mono
-b, --black black and white
--vidmode <mode> set other video mode, read cal.doc!
-v, --version version-info
-o, --config <fname> use different config-file
All switches can be specified 'Unix-like', so 'cal -cpt' is the
same as 'cal -c -p -t' or 'cal --color --pending --today'.
Most of these switches are self-explaining, but a few need some
lines.
-t Starts the program if there is anything today.
-p Starts if there are pending memo's. This switch looks for
memo's only!
-l Starts the program with specified number of lines. This
works on EGA and VGA only.
v 1.12 - CAL.DOC - 4
Lines| 25| 28| 29| 33| 43| 50|
-----+---+---+---+---+---+---+
EGA | X | | X | | X | |
VGA | X | X | | X | | X |
-----+---+---+---+---+---+---+
All these modes can be set in the configuration, but the command
line switch overrides it. There are of course much more
textmodes. If you want to use those, set the mode before
starting CCAALL . Be sure to set the mode in the configuration to
'Startup'. If you want to use extended textmodes with a
mode-number, like 132x43, use the --vidmode <mode> switch. If
<mode> is a hex-value use a '$'. For example --vidmode $54 sets
my videocard to 132x43. Be careful. Do NOT use a random number,
or the results will be very unpredictable:)

CCAALL stores its data in one file, 'default.cal', by default. CCAALL
looks for this file in the current directory.
SSYYSSTTEEMM RREEQQUUIIRREEMMEENNTTSS
CCAALL needs about 200k free memory for the non-registered version.
The registered version needs more, depending on the 'user edit
size'. MS-DOS 3.3 or higher is required.
CCAALL runs on any IBM-compatible PC. Only one diskdrive is needed
to run the program. It is recommended to use a small cache to
speed things up!
UUPPGGRRAADDEESS
The newest version of CCAALL is always available at my home-page:
http://www.grfn.org/~bel/cal.html
http://www.ptf.hro.nl/~bel/cal.html or
Both pages link to another page. This is only a temporary page,
so please always use one of above addresses.
I will upload new versions of CAL to SimTel.
(/SimTel/msdos/deskaccs/pbcalxxx, where xxx is the
version-number)
Use ftp or a www-browser to download CAL from a mirror-site near
you.
If you can't find it, mail me for a UUencoded version.
I'm still looking for FTP-sites, or bbs's to carry my program.
If you're interested, please drop me a mail.
