Calendar Mate 4.2a Released 02Jan93
- Fixed Bug that crashed the system when too many repeaters had
single occurrences of events deleted or redefined.
Calendar Mate 4.2 Released 18Feb92
- Compacted CALENDAR.EXE and SETUP.EXE with a neat public domain
program called LZEXE by Fabrice Bellard. This program will
compact your programs (EXE files) and attach a small front end
process that will decompress the program before running it.
Saves lots of disk space (CALENDAR.EXE went from about 185K to
less than 95K)
- Allowed support for the model 'every x workdays'.
- Fixed bug that would blank the window when rescheduling single
occurrances of repeating events.
- Some minor cosmetic changes to Calendar and Setup.
- Added verbiage about obtaining MPMPRINT for fixing calendars
whose borders are c's, 3's and d's instead of lines. Go into
option 5.1.2 and press F1.
Calendar Mate 4.1a Released 29Oct91
- New Command switch added. If a printer is ready and willing to
accept data yet Calendar Mate cannot print to it and gives an
error message, start the Mate with the /N switch and it will
not check for the printer being ready before attempting to
print.
- New Command switch added. To print to LPT2, use the '/2'
switch (eg. CALENDAR /2) and to print to LPT3, use the
'/3' switch (eg. CALENDAR /3)
- Allowed 18cpi as a viable option when printing compressed
mode.
- Check for operating system level and if running DOS 2.x,
suppress mouse functions. This allows the Mate to run with
DOS 2.x and higher whereas before it would lock up the
system.
Calendar Mate 4.1 Released 20Jul91
- VISA may now be used as a means of paying registration fee.
Mastercard and AmEx not currently supported.
- Added ability to redefine printer characters for printers
that use different characters for drawing lines
- Added print drivers for Gemini 10X and Sears SR2000 printers.
Calendar Mate 4.0 Released 01Feb91
- Calendars may be printed in English, French, German or
Spanish. Choice can be made in option 5.2
- When defining an event, a range of days may be specified
as a repeating interval (i.e. Mon-Thu or Mon, Wed, Thu)
- Changed time display on main screen - 12 noon is now 12pm
- Added 'plain' print driver for printers that cannot print
with extended ASCII characters
- When more events are scheduled than can fit on a printed
calendar, the operator must choose which events he/she
wants displayed.
- Internal scheduling changes made for greater reliability
- When adding an expiry date for an event, the program will
warn you if it's less than the start date.
- If automatic purge is on, repeating events will be deleted
if the expiry date has passed.
- User may now print a daily calendar.
- When generating the daily calendar, the default early warning
for events can be overridden.
- Filetype for events file changed from DAT to CME
(for Calendar Mate Events)
- Calendar Mate recognizes a 'DOS Environment' variable so
that it doesn't have to be run from a specific subdirectory.
- Several separate events files can be maintained.
- Events file can be specified when starting the program or
from within the program (i.e. CALENDAR WORK to
read WORK.CME file)
- Different print drivers can be specified for different
printouts. For example, with laserjet printer,
print daily calendar in portrait mode, monthly in landscape.
- With System Parms (option 5.2) you no longer have to hit
enter before hitting F5 to save.
- No extra page generated with printed calendars.
Calendar Mate V3.0 Released 03Sep90
- Mouse Support added
- Improved Context sensitive help
- Added 'Easter' as a keyword - program automatically
computes the date for Easter.
- Program computes the lunar cycles and can print when a
full moon and new moon occur in the month
- The user can opt to print events in compressed format on a
monthly calendar. This can squeeze three events instead
of two into each day.
- If user has defined more events than can fit into a box on
the monthly calendar, a warning message will be generated.
- User can now 'Clone' a record (in option 3).
- The user can now display the future occurrences of a
repeating event.
- New type of repeating events can be defined - the
'special' repeaters. These events can be automatically
rescheduled to a different day. For example a birthday
that falls on Feb. 29 but is usually rescheduled to
Feb. 28 is a special repeater.
- One (or several) occurrences of a repeating event can be
deleted or rescheduled without affecting the rest of
the event's dates.
- Epson LQ print driver added for printers that emulate this
fine printer.
- The program will allow more characters when defining
printer escape sequences.
- The user can now print a single calendar or a range of
calendars. For example the user can print September to
December and then go for a coffee while the printer
does the work.
- The program can now print a yearly calendar on one page.
- When generating several months at one time and sending
them to disk, the user can now browse each one.
- Old option 5.3 (set path for files) has been deleted.
Calendar Mate program will get all his files from the
directory that he is executed from.
- New Option 5.3 (define colours) now shows an example of
each possible colour combination.
- When printing a calendar, the program now assumes the
current month as the default where prior to this
release there was no default.
- User can abort/interrupt the calendar generation process
with a touch of the keyboard.
- When defining an event, you can now specify the end date
as a number of days from the start date of the event.
- In the prior releases sometimes the year wasn't checked on
non-repeating events. This has been fixed.
- When adding an event, the date will default to the hilighted
date on the convenience calendar. Prior to this release,
the date would default to the system date.
- More printer setup characters available in option 5.1.2
- Simplified the definition of printer characters. However,
in this case, simple is a relative term! This is still not
for the faint hearted.

- When viewing events in option 3, user can press F8 to sort
the file by event description
