- REMIND 2.3 for MS-DOS
-
- First, read the files COPYRIGHT and WHATSNEW.23.
-
- REMIND was originally written for MS-DOS. To compile it, you need the
- Microsoft C compiler (at least version 5.1) and the Microsoft MAKE
- utility.
-
- Before compiling the software, check if it includes patches. These are
- files called patch.xx. If there are patches, apply them all by typing
-
- cat patch.* | patch
-
- on a Unix machine. Then copy the software to your MS-DOS machine.
-
- To compile the software, simply go to the source directory and type:
-
- MAKE REMIND.MAK
-
- The file test.rem contains test reminders for verifying that REMIND's
- date calculation routines are working correctly. The file test.out
- contains the result of running: remind -dv test.rem 16 feb 1991
-
- Note that the MS-DOS version of REMIND operates slightly differently from
- the UNIX version: MS-DOS has no concept of file access date. Thus, to
- implement the "ONCE" keyword, REMIND will change the modification date
- of the top-level reminder file after it has run. This is equivalent to
- performing a "touch" of the file after running REMIND.
-
- Also, the MS-DOS version does not queue AT reminders for timed activation.
