- SkedEzy - Intelligent Windows Scheduler
- ---------------------------------------
-
- A unique scheduler program for Windows, which may be placed in the
- Startup program group for automatic daily usage. As events fall due
- (be they messages or program runs), they pop up over whatever happens
- to be running at the time. Events that fall due when the PC is turned
- off will pop up within a minute after you next turn on the PC. Events
- may occur once only, or may be scheduled to appear at regular intervals
- ranging from minutes to years.
-
- Date, time and recurrence period may be specified in almost any way,
- including English phrases. Very user friendly in this respect hence
- SkedEzy is popular with professionals who use scheduling software.
- Also very suitable for home use. Just think of all the regularly
- recurring events that we all have to keep track of - various car
- maintenance jobs, house cleaning chores, birthdays, anniversaries
- etc. etc. etc. Just enter them in once, and SkedEzy does the rest.
-
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- Although SkedEzy is a reliable program, you should make a copy of
- skedezy.que on a floppy disk at least once a week (preferably once a
- day) if you intend storing important information with it. Then your
- info is safe no matter what happens.

- First distributed version.
-
- Version 1.2 Aug 1994

- encountered by some users using version 1.2 or 1.21.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- To install this program, have Windows running then perform the
- following steps:
-
- 1. Insert the SkedEzy disk in a floppy drive.
-
- 2. Double click on the File Manager icon in the Program
- Manager.
-
- 3. Click on the icon representing the floppy drive in which you
- put the disk. For a 3.5" disk, this will normally be drive B.
-
- 4. When you can see the list of files on the floppy disk, double
- click on install.exe. The installation program will guide you
- from here.
-
- At this point, you can run Skedezy from the Windows File
- Manager just by double clicking on the file name skedezy.exe in
- the directory that you specified for the install. For everyday
- use, it is recommended that you place Skedezy in your StartUp
- program group. Drag skedezy.exe from the File Manager to your
- StartUp program group. If you do not have a StartUp group,
- create one by using File | New from the Program Manager
- menu. This will ensure that Skedezy is running all the time that
- you use your machine.
