Reminder V5.9
Copyright 1991-94 by Ebbe Holleris Petersen
Official release of version 5.9
Release date 15/12-94
E-mail: eep@sbi.dk
Changes from Reminder V5.8 to V5.9 (bugfix)
- Fixed bug in setup window. 'Run'/'Check'/'Cli check' and 'Flash screen'/
'WB to front' didn't work properly.
- Reminder didn't use it's builtin defaults properly when run without a
config file. This has been fixed.
These bugs were reported by Martin Nuttall and Martin Cox (ThanX).
- Changed the way the 'Run'/'Check'/'Cli check' gadget works. It's now more
logical (I hope) - se Reminder.guide for more info.
Changes from Reminder V5.7 to V5.8 (bugfix/minor update)
- Fixed version string (again). Hopefully it's now ok.
- Priority was broken. It would be 5 no matter what. Changes was ignored.
- Fixed enforcer hit(s).
These bugs were reported by Klaus Alexander Siestrup (ThanX).
- In some situations the message list would be empty, when the input
window was opened. This is now fixed.
This bug was reported by Anders Melchiorsen (ThanX).
- Reminder now saves it's datafile in a different way: it makes a copy of
the old datafile, and then modifies the original. If successful it then
deletes the copy. If not it deletes the modified file, and renames the
copy to the original name.
- When attempting to run Reminder twice it will no longer open a
requester stating that Reminder is already running. In stead Reminders
setup window will open.
- Added a icon (Reminder.info) to the archive, for those who want to put
Reminder in the WBStartup drawer. Just copy Reminder and Reminder.info
to the WBStartup drawer and all should work.
- Added icon to Reminder.guide and Changes.
- Shortened this file, by removing all changes info on versions below
Reminder V5.0.
Some People have complained, that Reminder reads from there harddisk once
every minute. This happens because the SAS/C command 'localtime()'
attempts to read the environment variable TZ (twice). This happens the
following way:
ChangeDir() to ENV:
Open() TZ
ChangeDir() back to default directory
To avoid this simply make RAM: the default directory before running
Reminder, i.e. put something like the following in your startup-sequence
(assuming that you run Reminder from your startup-sequence):
cd RAM:
Run >NIL: sys:bin/Reminder
Changes from Reminder V5.6 to V5.7 (bugfix/update)
- Reminder now remembers which messages has been shown today, when being
rerun or after a reset. This makes 'day count' a lot more useful.
- Changed documentation a bit. As it turned out it is no longer a good
idea to run Reminder with a stacksize of only 2000 bytes. It should be
4000 bytes (or more) to be on the safe side.
- Changed command line arguments:
-x is now X=
-y is now Y=
-r/-C/-C is now MODE=RUN/CHECK/CLI
Configfile can no longer be specified
These arguments can also be specified as tooltypes if Reminder is run
by use of an icon.
- Reminder ? will print a short description of how to use Reminder.
- When in editmode pressing <TAB> will activate the message gadget.
All the above changes were suggested by Anders Melchiorsen (ThanX).
- Fixed a bug that sometimes made Reminder think it wasn't able to open
a window, even when it was.
- Changed Reminders version string (I hope it now has the right format)
These bugs were reported by Klaus Alexander Siestrup (ThanX).
- Reminder.cfg, will now be saved as ENV:Reminder/Config and
ENVARC:Reminder/Config.
- With the configfile commandline option gone, Reminder is no longer
able to read Reminder V2.0 datafiles (anyway, I doubt that anybody is
using that old version any more).
- The -c (MODE=CHECK) option was broken. The message window would newer
open.
- Several minor changes.
- As of this version a config file is no longer included in the archive -
it seemed a bit useless.
Changes from Reminder V5.5 to V5.6 (bugfix)
- The 68000 version of Reminder crashed whenever it attempted to open
it's message window, due to a stupid typing error in my makefile, which
resulted in part of the program being 68030 code.
- Made clock window one pixel higher
- Fixed several minor bugs.
Changes from Reminder V5.4 to V5.5
- Reminder now can use *any* font, proportional or not.
- Message and command gadgets in the input window now supports TAB_CYCLE.
- Reminder now needs and uses reqTools.library.
- Adjusted setup window, to allow user to choose font.
- Message window will no longer pop up when the alarm, setup or input
window is open. It now waits until the window is closed.
Commands however will still be executed regardless of open windows.
- As of this version the file Reminder.man will no longer be included in
the archive.
Changes from Reminder V5.3 to V5.4
- No more enforcer hits (hopefully).
- When run from WBStartup drawer a useless CON: window would open. This
will no longer happen.
- Spelling error corrected 'okt' -> 'oct'.
- when editing a message, minutes, hours, days and months (not years - sorry)
now can be entered directly using numeric keys, in stead of using the
cursor keys (which of cause still work).
- When in edit mode pressing the mouse menu button will exit (without saving
changes, just like pressing the ESC-key).
- C:Run is no longer needed to run a command. Also redirection can be used
(>to_file_name and <from_file_name).
All the above changes were suggested by Anders Melchiorsen (ThanX).
- As of this version the OS1.2+ version of Reminder will no longer be
included in the archive.
- The Copy gadget removed in version 4.0, turned out to be more useful than
I initially thought, so it has been added to the input window again.
- Rearranged a few gadgets in the alarm and input window.
Changes from Reminder V5.2 to V5.3 (bugfix).
- Reminder would sometimes crash the machine when the clock window
was moved.
Changes from Reminder V5.1 to V5.2 (minor update).
- Added menu to Reminders clock window.
- Several minor bugfixes.
- Now show and hide (in the commodities control program ExChange) can
be used to open/close the setup window.
- Made a amigaguide version of Reminder.man.
Changes from Reminder V5.0 to V5.1 (minor update).
- Bug removed: Selecting Right Alt in hotkey sequence didn't work.
- Bug removed (a damn nasty one to): Input window would sometimes
crash Reminder the second time it was opened.
- Bug removed: Not all old messages would be removed as they
should (thanks to Anders Melchiorsen for reporting this one).
- Alarm message can now be changed, and it is also possible to
specify a command to be executed (se setup window).
Both will be saved in the config file, so I had to change it in
the process to.
- Extra spaces in the beginning and end of message and command
strings will now be removed (so it is no longer possible to fool
Reminder into believing that a string consisting only of spaces
is nonempty).
- Bug removed: Pressing '?' on weekdays in input window would crash
Reminder.
- Reminders version can now be read without running the program.
Just type 'C:version Reminder' in your Shell/CLI.
Changes from Reminder V4.7 to V5.0.
- As of version 5.0 Reminder now *ONLY* runs under AmigaDOS 2.0+.
Reminder V4.7 is also included. It is the last version that runs under
both AmigaDOS V1.2+ *AND* 2.0+).
- Reminder is now a commodity.
- No longer possible to run two (or more) copies of Reminder at the same
time. Reminder will simply state that it is already running and the
new copy will exit.
- Reminder now uses gadtools library (saves 4500 bytes).
- Setup window layout changed a lot.
- Message, input and alarm window's changed a bit.
- The date option previously showed the date in the form of DD/MM-YY.
Now it shows it without the year, and with the month in the form of
three letters: DD MMM. It saves some space, is understood everywhere
and looks better.
- Reminder no longer shows it's version number in the setup window.
In stead a copyright notice is shown in the workbench's title bar,
whenever a reminder window is active.
- The <enter> key now works just like the <return> key in the input
window. To exit edit mode and keep changes press Shift (left or right)
and <return> or <enter>.
- Until now pressing any key with '?' on, would reset timespecification
to wildcard. This is fixed, and you will now have to use the right key
combination(s).
- Pressing close gadget in clock window (or <hotkey>+<q>) will now work
even when alarm/setup/input/message window(s) are open.
- When the setup window is open, moving the clock window will update
Coord x and y.
- The number of digits used to display the available chip, fast and total
memory now depends on the maximum amount of memory available.
