- INTRODUCTION
-
- BIT CALENDAR combines an appointment calendar with an event
- calendar. The calendar is perpetual and permits entering
- appointments by date, year after year with perminent reten-
- tion. The event's calendar is an annual calendar permitting
- entry of birthdays, holidays and annual occasions which, of
- course, reoccur year after year. Provision is made for
- printing a hard copy of a selected month.
-
- Thanks to Jim LeMay's Qsikxx.Inc and Windowxx.Inc for window
- control and speed writing.
-
-
- FILES
-
- The following files were archieved with BC.COM. The two .DAT
- files must be in either the same directory/path or in the
- default directory.
-
- APPOINT.DAT Your file of appointments by date
- EVENT.DAT Your file of birthdays, holidays, etc.
- BCINST.COM Printer installation
- BCHELP.DOC This file (TYPE BCHELP.DOC > PRN
- for a hard copy)
-
-
- TERMINAL INSTALLATION
-
- BIT CALENDAR should recongnize the presence of a monochome
- or graphics card and/or a CGA or EGA monoitor.
-
-
- PRINTER INSTALLATION
-
- The printer is configured to print 8 lines per inch by using
- the escape sequence #27#48 - the required sequence for the
- Epson FX series, the IBM Proprinter, the Okidata 92 (with
- Plug & Play), and the Okidta 192 (IBM Compatible). To change
- the escape sequence to #27#48 for the Okidata 92 run BCInst
- and make the proper selection.
-
-
- OPERATION AND COMMAND FUNCTIONS
-
- Enter BC to start.
-
- The initial screen displays two weeks of a calendar starting
- with the current system date.
-
- Function Key F10 displays a Help Screen providing a
- directory to all functions essentially negating need for
- further explanation. The following is offered simply to
- expand on those instructions.

- only). When in the Events format, PgUp and PgDn do
- not work.
-
-
- F3 To select a starting date several weeks or months
- away from the present date. See PgDn and PgUp to
- scroll the calendar two weeks forward or back.

- MISCELLANEOUS
-
- No provision has been made to delete conveniently old

- records prior to 01/01/86. I plan to write such a module.
