- CCAALL is a simple calendar/diary program.
-
- CCAALL is shareware! If you like it, pay for it!
-
- CCAALL is cheap! $10 ain't much, isn't 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- and a diary program. It is
- possible to make notes on a unique day. This is a single event.
- There are also weekly, monthly and yearly events.
-
- I myself use the program mainly as a diary, using the single
- event feature.
-
- New in this version is a todo-list. When a file is opened, CAL
- merges all old todo's to today.
-
- 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.

- SSHHAARREEWWAARREE
- As mentioned above, CCAALL is shareware. You can test the program
- for 3 weeks. If you like it, you'll have to pay for it. If you
- don't like it, you are not allowed to use it anymore. However,
- after 3 weeks the program still works, but to encourage you to
- register, there are some benefits when you pay. Most shareware
- programs offer something 'extra' for registered users.
-
- The most important thing is the possibility to edit big memo's.
- The unregistered version allows only a minimal 512 characters a
- day.
-
- After registration the full potential, more then 65000
- characters a day, is available.
-
- The registration fee is only 10 US$
-
- 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.
-
- If you're rich and if you really like this program, consider
- paying more:)
-
- Very important! DDoonn''tt sseenndd cchheeqquueess pplleeaassee.. A 10 dollar cheque
- costs me 9 bucks to cash it. So just bills please. No coins
- either please, I can't cash them.

- 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! Then you'll get a special
- -FREE- limited registration key, good for 4096 characters a day.
- You'll have to send your email-address too, of course. If you
- don't have email, enclose some money for postage. $2 will do.

- Usage: cal [switches].. [files[.ext]]..
-
- -h, --help help
- -t, --today today
- -p, --pending pending
- -f, --file switch is no longer supported
- -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, read cal.doc!
- -v, --version version-info
- -o, --config <fname> use different config-file
-
- 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 need some
- lines.
- -t Starts the program if there is anything today.
- -p Starts if there are pending memo's. This switch looks for
- memo's only!
- -l Starts the program with specified number of lines. This
- works on EGA and VGA only.

- -----+---+---+---+---+---+---+
-
- 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:)

-
- 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:
- http://www.grfn.org/~bel/cal.html
- http://www.ptf.hro.nl/~bel/cal.html or
- Both pages link to another page. This is only a temporary page,
- so please always use one of above addresses.
-
- I will upload new versions of CAL to SimTel.
- (/SimTel/msdos/deskaccs/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.
-
- I'm still looking for FTP-sites, or bbs's to carry my program.
- If you're interested, please drop me a mail.
