- This archive contains a port to OS/2 1.x--2.x and DOS of David Skoll's
- Remind 3.0.10. David Skoll writes:
-
- Remind is a sophisticated calendar/alarm program, which runs under
- MS-DOS, UNIX and OS/2. I have posted Patch 10 to comp.sources.misc.
-
- The flexibility of the triggers (and some other nice features)
- distinguish this program from other reminder-like programs. Norm Walsh
- remarks that VREXX can add PM-popup capability to Remind (see below).
-
- The OS/2 changes will be integrated into the next release of
- Remind. This interim release is to replace an older version, and to
- provide a version for the Nov-93 CD of ftp-os2.cdrom.com.
-
- Russ Herman (rwh@gov.on.ca) is reponsible for the popup capability and
- support for the bcc compiler. EMX/gcc and MSC support are from Norm
- Walsh (norm@ora.com) and Darrel Hankerson (hankedr@mail.auburn.edu).

- Notes: Norm Walsh suggested using VREXX to add PM popups to Remind.
- VREXX is by Richard B. Lam, and is available at ftp-os2.cdrom.com
- in pub/os2/ews/vrexx2.zip.
-
- A very basic outline of a VREXX script to add the PM popup capability
- is given by the following popup.cmd file:
-
- /* popup.cmd: Popup ARG(1) message */
- call RxFuncAdd 'VInit', 'VREXX', 'VINIT'
- initcode = VInit()
- if initcode = 'ERROR' then signal CLEANUP
-
- signal on failure name CLEANUP
- signal on halt name CLEANUP
- signal on syntax name CLEANUP
-
- msg.0 = 1
- msg.1 = ARG(1)
- call VMsgBox 'Remind', msg, 1
-
- CLEANUP:
- call VExit
-
- exit
-
- The '-k' option of Remind is used to specify the command for MSG-type
- reminders. If your shell is cmd.exe, then
-
- remind "-kpopup %s" mytest.rem
-
- might be a typical example (use %%s for 4os2).
