This is an ARexx program that will help you not to forget important
events (birthdays especially...). It uses a configuration file which
you can create and update with any ASCII editor. This file contains
three entries separated by commas: the date of the event, the number
of days you want to be warned before and a comment to display.
When an event is due, Events opens a window, displays it and asks you
what to do. You can ask to be reminded again next time, next week,
next month, in any number of days or simply delete this entry.
You will find further instructions in the source itself but this is
most of it. I chose to write it in Arexx so that it can be easily
modified by whoever wouldn't like it as it is.
To use it, put the file 'Events.rexx' in your 'rexx:' directory,
create a configuration file and name it 's:.eventsconfig', and modify
your startup-sequence (or user-startup) by adding the following
command:
rx Events
Have fun! Any suggestions welcome.
