- Stained Glass Software Inc. is still in business and is doing
- mostly contract work. MIDIapolis Systems purchased the
- rights to Calendoscope in October and we are currently
- adding enhancements and improving the interface and
- fixing bugs (it was one of the first apps for NeXT and is
- pretty bug free). The program will be released under the
- name DayTripper (tm) and will include all of Calendoscope
- features plus additions. If you have any suggestions
- regarding what features need to be added, please email
- or phone. I can't promise they'll make it into the first
- release (later this month) but we hope to release version 1.1
- of the program in the first quarter of 1993 that will
- make DayTripper a more full-feauter calendar program.
-
- DayTripper features include:
-
- Personal and group calendars for list, day, month and year.
-
- Ability to add voice and text attachments to appointments.
-
- Visual, Sound, and email alarms.
-
- Ability to enter recurring appointments (i.e. every other Friday,
- 3rd Friday of each month, 3rd Friday of each month, etc.).
-
- Hard copy, on-line manual, and on-line button help.
-
- More features but I don't want to waste bandwidth so watch
- for an announcement of DayTripper's release in the next
- couple of weeks.
