Only registered users are eligible for Technical Assisance. Please register
your copy.
EmmaSoft's phone is (607)533-4685. Before calling for technical assistance
double check that you are calling DARN! from the same directory it is in.
For example, if it is in the c:\emma directory type cd\emma and THEN type:
"ancal <Enter>".
If you are in some other directory DARN! won't load, even if that directory
is in your DOS path.
Before calling jot down the type of computer you are using, and the type of
graphics adaptor card installed in your system.
If you would prefer to write us we will answer your questions the best we
can. Please remember that mail assistance takes time. We will answer the
mail as fast as possible, but we are a small company with limited resources,
so your patience is greatly appreciated.
NOTE: Some common solutions to common problems are listed later in this
readme file.

DARN! can be customized for your business. We can provide DARN! with your
custom message on the bottom of the screen. We can also ship DARN! with a
calendar customized to your needs. Just send us a list of dates and events
when you order. It's perfect for giving to your customers, friends, or
family at tax time, holiday time, or any time.
******************
Common problems:
DARN! won't load:
Did you set the environment to tell DARN! where it's
files are? If you keep DARN! in the \DOS directory on drive C: type
SET ANCAL=C:\DOS into your autoexec.bat file (or at the DOS prompt).
Is the directory that DARN! is in part of your DOS path?
Use the DOS PATH command to put it there.
If the ANCAL environmental variable is not set, did you
call DARN! from the directory it is in? Use the DOS CD command to get
there.
There were too many events for one screen, and I want to see the first screen-
full again:
Press <F9> to see your list again.
******************
More Common problems:
DARN! won't find a name. I know it's in there:
DARN's search is case sensative. Try entering the name
again with an uppercase first letter. Or enter a few of the letters
from the middle of the name in lower case.
DARN! doesn't show the year of my annual office party:
DARN! only shows the year of birthdays and anniversaries.
******************
Limits:
300 events in one events file (with the .drn extension)
5 characters in a date (with the third being a '/')
25 characters in a name
15 characters in an event
How Does DARN! handle leap year? If you have an event listed for leap year it
will appear like any other event a week before the 29th. If there is no 29th
this February it will not appear in the today section. You can always use
<Alt><d> to view February 29th.
