Calendar Documentation
======================
The Calendar programs are designed to be used as part of a
'startup-sequence'. They provide an easy way to update the
system time and date. Calendar also will list short memos
for the current month as an option.
The Calendar program reads the current system date and comes
up with what the Amiga thinks is the current year, month, day
and time. The year and month can be changed by clicking on
the <<<< and >>>> gadgets. The day can be changed by clicking
on the desired date. The hours and minutes are set with the
slider gadgets under them. AM and PM are set automatically.
Both programs provide a SetDate gadget. This causes the system
date and time to be reset and a file written to the S: directory
called 'now'. This file is datestamped with the current date and
time. Calendar1 has a Use gadget that resets the system time
without writting a file. The Close gadget will exit without
changing anything.
Calendar has a Memo gadget. This option does the same thing as
the SetDate gadget, plus it will read a disk file for memo items.
All items with the current month will be listed to the screen.
The disk file is simple text file that has the day in the first
two columns, a blank and the month. Only the first three letters
of the month are used. 'Dates' is an example of the text file.
To use the Memo option, 1) create a text file and place it somewhere
on your boot disk and 2) call it when you call Calendar
Example: Calendar df0:c/Dates
