- PC-Nag Ver. 1.2
- For IBM PC, XT, AT, or compatible.
- Copyright 1993 by Progressive Products
-
- Have you ever forgotten a birthday? How about that anniversary or other
- special occasion? Well, you can put your brain to rest, PC-Nag has come
- to the rescue!
-
- This program lets you save reminder messages on your computer. Every
- morning when you turn your computer on you get reminded of things. Just
- like a spouse, but it costs less and in-laws don't come with it.
-
- You can have messages pop up every year, month, week, day, or every
- certain number of days. You can also make it show you the message any
- number of days (and times) before it occurs. For example, if your
- mother's birthday is on June 2, you would set a message to pop up on
- 6/2. But being reminded on the exact day of the event does not give a
- person much preparation. With our software, like any good nag, you will
- be reminded as many days, or times, before that specific date as you
- wish.
-
- But what if you don't turn on your computer until after all these
- reminders have passed? Don't worry, if you don't turn on your computer,
- PC-Nag just holds the message over to the next day. None of this hit
- and miss stuff that certain other software packages leave you with.
-
- Just as a bonus, PC-Nag comes with a year's worth of mostly humorous
- daily sayings. Only one per day, so it will take more than a year to
- read them all! Of course you can turn them off, for those who are
- easily offended.
-
- Enjoy!

- HOW TO INSTALL
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Setting up PC-Nag:
- ------------------
-
- For hard disk users
- 1) Create a sub-directory on your hard disk.
- (Example: C:\>MD NAG)
- 2) Change to that sub-directory.
- (Example: C:\>CD NAG)
- 3) Copy contents of your PC-Nag disk onto the sub-directory.
- (Example: C:\NAG>COPY A:*.*)
- 4) Set up PC-Nag by typing SETUPNAG [Return].
- (Example: C:\NAG>SETUPNAG)
-
- At this point you have two options.
- 1) Put the name NAGME in your Autoexec.bat and in your Path. If
- this seems foreign to you, your best bet is #2.
- 2) Type MOD-AUTO [Return].
- (Example: C:\NAG>MOD-AUTO)
- This sets up PC-Nag so as to appear every time you turn your
- computer on. You will also be able to run PC-Nag from any
- directory on your hard disk by simply typing NAGME [Return] at
- the DOS prompt.
-
-
-
- Note on examples: You type after the > symbol. The C:{stuff}> is what
- you will see displayed. Also, remember to push the
- [Return] or [Enter] key after each command.
-
- Secondary note: DOS prompts may vary depending on
- how your particular system was configured.
-
- Trinary note: You probably know all this stuff.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- WHAT'S NEW
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- There have been two changes since version 1.0. Briefly they
- are:
-
- 1) Archive option added.
-
- 2) Search option added.
-
-
- Archive Option
- ==============
-
- After a message has outlived its usefulness, and you go to
- delete it, there is now another choice. Archive it! This
- will delete the message from your calendar and place it in a
- text file called: ARCHIVE.TXT. This is useful for messages
- that contain phone numbers, addresses, or anything that you
- might want to look up sometime in the future, but that you
- don't want glaring at you every day.
-
-
- Search Option
- =============
-
- A search option has been added in the Edit Message section.
- This allows you to search your entire calendar for a certain
- word, or phrase.
-
-
-
- Bug Fix
- =======
- The screen color is no longer altered at exit.
-
- Daily sayings toggle has been fixed. Note: Once the sayings status is toggled,
- it is necessary to re-run PC-Nag to activate selection.
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- THIS IS SHAREWARE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You probably obtained this program from a shareware distributor or a bulletin
- board system. No matter how you received it, don't forget to support the
- programmer by registering the software. It is easy to do. Each time you exit
- the program, you will be asked whether you would like an order form printed

- to Progressive Products, P.O. Box 1575, Paso Robles, CA 93447.
