- CCAALL is a free-form intuitive PIM that CREATES order out of
- chaos.
-
- CCAALL is shareware! You can test it for 3 weeks. If you like it,
- pay for it!
-
- CCAALL is easy to use, so this doc will be short:) Most information
- is available online with F1, but this doc will get you started.

- TTHHEE PPRROOGGRRAAMM
- CCAALL is a combination of a calendar, diary and a PIM. You can use
- your own labeling system, so you can easily extract and display
- virtually any type of information in an organized format. Read
- the online help for more info on labels (Press F8 for the search
- function, enter some text, press Ok, then press F1 for help).
-
- The program uses a neat Turbo-Vision interface. It is very
- simple to work with. When you start the program you will start
- in the calendar. Navigate with the mouse and the keyboard.
-
- With TAB (and Shift TAB) you can walk through the editors. Press
- F1 for a list of editing-keys.

-
- Although the program works fine in 80x25 resolution it is
- recommended to use a higher resolution, like 80x28 or higher.
- You can use the -l switch to change the number of lines, or
- change the configuration.
-
- Windows users can use the --winlines switch.

- SSHHAARREEWWAARREE
- CCAALL is shareware. This means you can freely test the program for
- 3 weeks. If you continue to use it, after this trial-period,
- you'll have to pay for it. However, after 3 weeks the program
- still works, but to encourage you to register, there are some
- benefits when you pay.
-
- The most important thing is the possibility to edit big memos.
- The unregistered version allows only a minimal 512 characters a
- day. The unregistered version also doesn't support word wrap.
-
- After registration the full potential, more then 65000
- characters a day, is available.
-
- All nagscreens are removed too, of course.
-
- The registration fee is 20 US$.
-
- You can now register online at hhttttpp::////oorrddeerr..kkaaggii..ccoomm//??JJ22 or
- hhttttpp::////oorrddeerr..kkaaggii..ccoomm//??JJ22&&SS if your browser supports secure
- pages.
-
- Or you send the money directly to me. You can pay in any other
- currency too: Convert the US Dollar amount to your own currency
- using the most current (today's) exchange rate.
-
- Very important! DDoonn''tt sseenndd cchheeqquueess pplleeaassee.. A 20 dollar cheque
- costs me 9 bucks to cash it. So just bills please. No coins
- either please, I can't cash them.
-
-
- SSPPEECCIIAALL OOFFFFEERR
- If you don't like to send money to programmers, if you don't
- like to pay for programs at all, send me a postcard from your
- hometown, but make it a nice one! Add your email-address, so I
- can send you the registration key, good for 4096 letter a day.

- Usage: cal [switches].. [files[.ext]]..
-
- -h, --help help
- -t, --today today
- -p, --pending pending
- -i, --memory memoryinfo
- -l, --lines <lines>: 25, 28, 29, 33, 43 or 50
- -c, --color color
- -m, --mono mono
- -b, --black black and white
- --vidmode <mode> set other video mode
- -v, --version display version-info
- -o, --config <fname> use different config-file
- --winlines <lines> any number between 26 and 32
- --ignorevideo Don't test number of lines, run anyway
-
- All switches can be specified 'Unix-like', so 'cal -cpt' is the
- same as 'cal -c -p -t' or 'cal --color --pending --today'.
-
-
- Most of these switches are self-explaining, but a few will be
- explained below:
- -t Starts the program if there is anything today.
- -p Starts if there are pending memos. This switch looks for
- memos and to do events only!
- Both -p and -t are very useful in autoexec.bat
- If shift is down, CAL doesn't check for anything, and
- doesn't start.
- -l Starts the program with specified number of lines. This
- works on EGA and VGA only.
-
- Lines| 25| 28| 29| 33| 43| 50|
- -----+---+---+---+---+---+---+
- EGA | X | | X | | X | |
- VGA | X | X | | X | | X |
- -----+---+---+---+---+---+---+
-
- All these modes can be set in the configuration, but the command
- line switch overrides it. There are of course much more
- textmodes. If you want to use those, set the mode before
- starting CCAALL . Be sure to set the mode in the configuration to
- 'Startup'. If you want to use extended textmodes with a
- mode-number, like 132x43, use the --vidmode <mode> switch. If
- <mode> is a hex-value use a '$'. For example --vidmode $54 sets
- my videocard to 132x43. Be careful. Do NOT use a random number,
- or the results will be very unpredictable:)

-
- --winlines
- With this switch the number of lines of a dos-box in Windows can
- be set. This doesn't work in full-screen mode. I only tested
- this with Windows NT 3.51, if this works with Win95, Win 3.xx or
- maybe OS/2, please let me know.
-
-
- TTEECCHHNNIICCAALL
- CCAALL stores its data in one file, 'default.cal', by default. CCAALL
- looks for this file in the current directory.
-
-
- SSYYSSTTEEMM RREEQQUUIIRREEMMEENNTTSS
- CCAALL needs about 200k free memory for the non-registered version.
- The registered version needs more, depending on the 'user edit
- size'. MS-DOS 3.3 or higher is required.
-
- CCAALL runs on any IBM-compatible PC. Only one diskdrive is needed
- to run the program. It is recommended to use a small cache to
- speed things up!
-
-
- UUPPGGRRAADDEESS
- The newest version of CCAALL is always available at my home-page:
- hhttttpp::////hhuuiizzeenn..ddddss..nnll//~~ppccbbeell//ccaall..hhttmmll or
- hhttttpp::////wwwwww..ggrrffnn..oorrgg//~~bbeell//ccaall..hhttmmll
-
- I will upload new versions of CAL to SimTel.
- (/SimTel/msdos/deskaces/pbcalxxx, where xxx is the
- version-number)
- Use ftp or a www-browser to download CAL from a mirror-site near
- you.
-
- If you can't find it, mail me for a UUencoded version.

- Taken from BF-SDK.TXT, part of the Blowfish Software Development
- Kit:
-
- Blowfish is a data encryption algorithm which was published in
- the Dr.Dobb's Journal magazine, issue #213 on April 1994. It was
- developed by Bruce Schneier and is unpatented and placed in the
- public domain. In the September issue 1995 of DDJ Blowfish was
- (after a sponsored contest) still unbreaked. The advantages of
- this encryption algorithm is its design for 32bit CPUs like the
- 80386 and above achieving an excellent performance with a
- maximum gain of security.
