C. NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS
If you run CALENDAR WISE on a network, you will encounter a
warning screen when attempting to edit a calendar that is
currently opened for update by another user. You may open the
calendar in view-only mode. If you open the calendar for
updating, it is possible that all changes someone else is
currently making will be lost or all changes that you make will
be lost. It simply is a matter of whomever saves their calendar
last, erases the others changes.
This same warning can appear in a single user environment
(i.e. if the calendar file is open and power is lost, or some
other reason causes the calendar file to not be closed properly).
Simply choose "OVERRIDE FOR UPDATING" to circumvent the warning
and reset the file status.
=================================================================
II: USER INFORMATION
=================================================================
A. CALENDAR LIST
Touch any key as the colors are changing and the calendar
list will appear. 100 different calendars are available, 10 on
each page. Any character can be typed as the calendars name.
Calendars can be marked for menu operations such as move, delete,
or merge calendars. A demo can be run showing sample calendars.

This function allows you to view multiple calendars at the
same time. By pressing F2, an asterisk will appear to the left
of the selected calendar's name. Any number of calendars can be
chosen for viewing and printing simultaneously. The Enter key
also chooses a calendar to view so remember that this calendar
will appear if the selection box is not around a previously
marked F2 calendar. Also, while viewing multiple calendars, no
changes will be saved to any calendars chosen. 'Multiple
Calendars" will appear at the top of the calendar when multiples
have been chosen.
This feature can be extremely handy to determine multiple
managers availability when scheduling a meeting, or to see all
employee vacations or work schedules in different departments.
It provides a quick overview of any or all calendars.
F2 - Marking calendar for setting default colors.
After customizing a calendar's colors, the colors can be
designated as the default colors. The default color scheme will
appear upon entering a new calendar. The default colors will
also appear in the preset color schemes(see DISPLAY - SCREEN
COLORS <F10>). By pressing F2, an asterisk will appear to the
left of the calendar's name. You should then press Escape to get
to the menu. SET DEFAULT COLORS is located under OPTIONS. After
setting the default colors, any changes to the colors of the
calendar selected will not affect the default color scheme.
F2, F3 - Marking calendars for merging

several calendars into another calendar. By pressing F2, an
asterisk will appear to the left of the donor calendar's name. By

calendar's name. Any number of calendars can be selected as
donors, but only one calendar may be selected as the recipient of
the merge. You should then press Escape to get to the menu.
MERGE CALENDAR is located under OPTIONS. You will be asked to
verify the calendar to be merged. If you select "YES", you will
then enter the merged calendar. When exiting this calendar you

recipient calendar as it was prior to the merge.
This feature can be extremely handy if holidays are kept
exclusively in one calendar. This way, when a new calendar is
started, they can be easily merged in.

a hyphen will appear to the left of the destination on the
calendar list. You should then press Escape to get to the menu.

destination may be chosen. You will be asked to verify the
calendar to be moved. If a calendar exists at the destination,
you will be asked if you want to overwrite it.
F3 - Marking calendar for deleting
This function allows you to delete all of the information
associated with a certain calendar. Prior to deleting a
calendar, one calendar must be chosen. By pressing F3, an
asterisk will appear to the left of the calendar to be deleted.
You should then press Escape to get to the menu. DELETE CALENDAR
is located under OPTIONS. You will be asked to verify the
calendar to be deleted.
*** NOTE - Possible File Status Error Encountered.
If you run CALENDAR WISE on a network, you can encounter an
error when attempting to delete, move, or merge a calendar that
is currently opened for update by another user. You must make
sure that the calendar is in the correct status before CALENDAR
WISE will allow this operation. You can do this by simply
choosing to view the calendar, and when the "CALENDAR IN USE"
screen appears, choose "OVERRIDE FOR UPDATE".
Make sure that no one is actually updating before you choose
to override the file status. Upon exiting this calendar, the
file status will be set correctly so that you can attempt the
delete, move, or merge operation.
This same error can appear in a single user environment
(i.e. if the calendar file is open and power is lost, or some
other reason causes the calendar file to not be closed properly).
Simply choose "OVERRIDE FOR UPDATING" to circumvent the warning
and reset the file status.

calendar list. Prior to moving a calendar, the source and
destination must be chosen. By pressing F2, an asterisk will

started, they can be easily merged in.
OPTIONS - DELETE CALENDAR
This function allows you to delete all of the information

C. CALENDAR
The default layout for a calendar is 5 weeks by 7 days.
Appearing in the upper left corner is the registered owners name,
from the REGISTRATION FORM screen. Top center is the calendar
name from the calendar list, or 'Multiple Calendars". Top right
is the currently displayed month and year. Vertically on the
right is todays date, and across the bottom is a status line
with certain key function reminders. The highlighted box moves
around the displayed days using the arrow and page keys. If more
information exists for a day than can be displayed, a small box
appears around the date.
Movement Keys...
Up arrow - Previous week
Down arrow - Next week
Left arrow - Previous day
Right arrow - Next day
Page up - Previous month
Page down - Next month
Backtab - Previous day
Tab - Next day
Home - Beginning of week
End - End of week
Action keys...
F1 - Help
F5 - Copy
F6 - Paste
Escape - Menu
Enter - Edit day
F5 - Copy
Move the day selection box to the day containing the desired
data. By pressing F5, the item for the selected date is copied
into memory. If you want to copy the fourth item displayed into
memory, press F5 four times. The item copied appears across the
bottom of the screen.
If this item is not recurring, pasting(<F6>) will simply
place it on the new day. If this item is recurring, pasting
will use the day being pasted as the beginning day, calculate the
duration of this item and subsequently calculate the
corresponding ending day for the item pasted.
It is important to know that pasting uses the day you are
currently on as the beginning day. Therefore if you are pasting
a monthly frequency item from the 31st of a month onto the 30th
of another month, this item will appear on the 30th and not at
the end of every month, even if the 30th is the last day of the
month.
This feature can be extremely handy when scheduling
infrequent items on many days. A workers name can easily be
copied to memory and then added to all of the days he is
scheduled (i.e. this Thursday, next Monday, next Wednesday). A
five day stint in Atlanta can easily be added to the first week
of May, second week of September, etc..
F6 - Paste
By pressing F6, a previously copied item(see F5 under
Calendar and Edit Day) will be inserted on this day.
If the item to be pasted is not recurring, pasting will
simply place it on the new day. If the item is recurring,
pasting will use the day being pasted as the beginning day,
calculate the duration of the item to be pasted and subsequently
calculate the corresponding ending day for the item pasted.
This feature can be extremely handy when scheduling
infrequent items on many days. A workers name can easily be added
to all of the days he is scheduled (i.e. this Thursday, next
Monday, next Wednesday). A five day stint in Atlanta can easily
be added to the first week of May, second week of September,
etc..
F9 - Search again
A previous search operation can be repeated. If the last
search was successful, this search starts with the day following
where the day selection box is located. If the last seacrh was
unsuccesful, the search starts with January 1 of the next year to
search.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
D. EDIT DAY
Fields...
Title
Eleven characters are available. This field is what appears
on the calendar. If more than eleven characters are needed, the
notes field is available on the right. A second title line can
be used as well, allowing both lines to be viewed on the
calendar(for example, FAMILY on the first line, REUNION on the
second line). To delete an item, simply space out this field.
Remember that deleting an item will delete all occurrences of an
item. Use F7 to delete only one occurrence from a recurring item
as described below.
Frequency
The frequency field consists of two parts, the frequency
type and the frequency number.
Four frequency types are available. Yearly, Monthly, Daily
and Weekly. The first letter must be in the first position of
this three position field. When the frequency is entered default
data will appear in the other fields. The day you are editing
will appear in the beginning field and 12/31/9999 will appear in
the ending field.
The frequency number pertains to how many weeks apart, how
many years apart, etc.. For every five years, enter Y5; for
semiannual, enter M6; for biweekly, enter W2; and for every 4
days, enter D4. If this field is left blank, it will be replaced
with a 1.
You may also make a frequency moveable. This is a monthly
or yearly frequency item that doesn't happen on the 15th every
month, for instance, but rather on the first Tuesday of every
month. See F4 below.
Beginning Date
The Beginning field denotes when the first occurrence of
this item will be. If the frequency for an item is monthly
starting March 31, all occurrences of this item will be at the
end of the month. Likewise if you want an item to fall on the
end of each month starting February 28, type 31 in the day
portion of this field. For processing speed reasons, the
earliest beginning date year allowed is 1978. On your personal
calendar of birthdays, put the birth year in the notes field.
Ending Date
The Ending field denotes when the last occurrence of this
item will be. If you are entering an event that happens for the
next x frequencies (i.e. W2 for 10 times, M1 for the next 18
months), simply press any nonnumeric key while in this field.
An asterisk will appear to the left. Now enter x in the month
portion of the ending date field, rather than the actual ending
date. The actual ending date will be calculated when you press
Enter.
Notes
This seventeen character field is provided so that more
information can be attached to an item. Every where this item
appears, so will this note.
This feature can be extremely handy on your calendars of
bills due, to see how much you insurance due quarterly will be,
or how much your mortgage payment is.

Escape - Calendar
Enter - Save data
F4 - Moveable frequency
By pressing F4, an asterisk will appear to the left of the
frequency field. the item within the edit box will then have a
moveable frequency. "Moveable" means that this item has either a
yearly or monthly frequency, but each occurrence does not happen
on the same date. Rather each occurrence happens at the same
point in the month, relative to the first week of the month. (i.
e. the first Tuesday of each month, the second Friday of every
other month, political elections held on the first Tuesday of
November every four years.)
To make an non-moveable item moveable, or a moveable item
non- moveable, you must be editing on the beginning date of the
frequency item.
F5 - Copy
By pressing F5, the item inside of the edit box is copied
into memory for later use in pasting. See also F5 and F6 under
Calendar.
If this item is not recurring, pasting(<F6>) will simply
place it on the new day. If this item is recurring, pasting
will use the day being pasted as the beginning day, calculate the
duration of this item and subsequently calculate the
corresponding ending day for the item pasted.
This feature can be extremely handy when scheduling
infrequent items on many days. A workers name can easily be added
to all the days he is scheduled (i.e. this Thursday, next
Monday, next Wednesday). A five day stint in Atlanta can easily
be added to the first week of May, second week of September,
etc..
F7 - Delete one occurence of a recurring item
By pressing F7, an asterisk will appear to the right of the
frequency field. The occurrence of the item on the day being
edited will be deleted from occurrences of this item. Actually
what happens is two recurring items are created; one starting
with the item's beginning day and ending with the occurrence
previous to the day being edited; and one starting with the next
occurrence following the day being edited and ending with the
item's ending date.
This feature can be extremely handy when softball is
scheduled for the next 14 weeks, yet no games are played on
Memorial Day and the team has a bye on the fifth week.
* Note - Pageup and Pagedown save the data prior to displaying
the next page. This may cause confusion as to what you are
viewing if you have deleted some information on a page and are
now looking at the next page. You may think that you are not
seeing some data on the new page that you expected. Press Pageup
to view the data you expected to be here. Of course you must
have more than 10 items on a day to encounter this.

date field and you will go 6 months ahead.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
D.EXPLANATION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware is not a type of software, but rather a form of
marketing and distribution. Users are given a chance to try
software before spending the sometimes outlandish fees for retail
software. If you try a shareware program and continue to use it
you are expected to register it. Individual programs differ on
details of registration and levels of support offered. It is
important to know what is supplied with your registration,
whether continued support, upgraded programs, or printed manuals
will be available.
Copyright laws apply to both shareware and commercial
software, and the copyright holder retains all rights The main
difference, however, is that shareware authors specifically grant
the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and
sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require
written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
software.
When looking for software, you should find software that
suits your needs and pocketbook, whether commercial or
shareware. Shareware makes fitting your needs easier, because
you can try before you buy, the ultimate money-back-guarantee.
Most likely shareware can deliver a lower priced product because
there is no overhead marketing and distributing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E.USER AGREEMENT
If you find this program useful and find that you are using
CALENDAR WISE and continue to use CALENDAR WISE after a
reasonable trial period(60 days), you must make a registration
payment to BLUE CANNON SOFTWARE. The appropriate amount is
stated on the pricing schedule and continued use is only valid
for the amount received. If in the future you are no longer
using CALENDAR WISE in the way it was originally registered, you
must register again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
