- 1.1 Program Description
-
-
- Year Planner is an organizing tool which mimics the familiar "write-
- on, wipe-off" wall planner calendar system most businesses use to
- schedule important events. You are allowed to write deadlines,
- appointments, and other important information into "day blocks" which
- can later be printed out in a large standard calendar format.
- Information can be easily updated or erased altogether and reprinted.
- Features include an overlay template to apply similar messages in many
- "day blocks" like the first Monday of every month, a pop-up notepad, a
- search feature, instantly know the current day number and the number
- of days left in the year, a month at a glance feature, an onscreen
- year summary so you can see the whole year at a glance, large calendar
- printouts (weeks start on any day you choose), and all major holidays
- already built in.

- 2.1 System Installation
-
- Floppy Drive System:
-
- To install the year planner program on a floppy drive system, just
- copy the CALENDAR.EXE, UTILITY.EXE, SETUP.EXE, BRUN30.EXE and
- CHECK.EXE files over to a blank, formatted floppy diskette. You will
- have more than enough space on the floppy diskette to hold the
- program, the yearly data files, and the printer control codes setup
- file.
-
-
- Hard Drive System:
-
- To install the year planner program on a hard disk, you should first
- create a new subdirectory on the hard disk and then copy the
- CALENDAR.EXE, UTILITY.EXE, SETUP.EXE, CHECK.EXE, and BRUN30.EXE files
- to the newly created subdirectory. The commands to create the new
- subdirectory are:
-
-
- C>cd \ goes to the root directory
- C>md calendar makes a new subdirectory called calendar
- C>cd \calendar goes to the calendar subdirectory
-
- (C> is the DOS prompt and is not part of the command)
-
-
- Once you have created the new subdirectory, you should copy the
- calendar.exe and setup.exe program files to the subdirectory. Use the
- DOS copy command to do this. Make sure you are in the calendar
- subdirectory before issuing this command. The command has the
- following format:
-
- C>copy d:\path\filename
-
- Where d:\path\ is the pathname for the location of the calendar.exe
- file. For example, if the file was in the root directory on drive A
- then the copy commands would look like this:
-
- C>copy A:calendar.exe
- C>copy A:utility.exe
- C>copy A:setup.exe
- C>copy A:brun30.exe
- C>copy A:check.exe
-
- As another example, if the calendar.exe file were in a subdirectory
- called XTALK on drive C then the commands would look like this:
-
- C>copy C:\xtalk\calendar.exe
- C>copy C:\xtalk\utility.exe
- C>copy C:\xtalk\setup.exe
- C>copy C:\xtalk\brun30.exe
- C>copy c:\xtalk\check.exe

-
- 2.2 Starting the Program
-
-
-
- Floppy Drive System:
-
- 1) Insert the floppy diskette created in section 2.1 into drive A.
-
- 2) Make sure you have the A> prompt.
-
- 3) Type CALENDAR and then press 'enter'.
-
- 4) The main menu will appear.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Hard Drive System:
-
- 1) Go to the subdirectory created is section 2.1: C>cd \calendar
-
- 2) Type CALENDAR and then press 'enter'.
-
- 3) The main menu will appear.
-
-
-
-
- Note: In the current version, you have the ability to create more than
- one calendar file. You can enter the calendar file name on the command
- line when you start the program (CALENDAR filename) or, if you don't
- enter it on the command line, you will be prompted by the program to
- enter a calendar file name.

- 2.4 Initializing a New Year
-
-
- Before doing anything such as entering appointments or printing a
- calendar, you must first initialize the calendar file for the year you
- would like to work with. To do this, choose option U on the main menu
- to go to the utility menu:
-
- ---------------------------------------------------
- | Year Planner v2.92 Utility Menu |

- | |
- | Enter Option... |

-
-
- Then choose option I on the utility menu. After entering the name of
- the file that you want to initialize, you will get the following
- prompt:
-
- Enter year (YY): ..
-
- Esc to Exit.
-
-
- After you enter the year, the calendar file will be initialized. All
- "day blocks" will be set equal to spaces. After the file has been
- initialized, you will get the following prompt:
-
-
-
- Do you want to insert Holidays in calendar ? (Y/N)...
-
-
- If you answer Y to the prompt, all major holidays will be
- automatically inserted in the last line of the appropriate "day
- block". If you answer N to the prompt, all "day blocks" will remain
- blank.
-
-
- Note that all year's are supported up to year 1999. And holidays are
- included only for years 1987 thru 1992. Future holidays and years will
- be updated on a yearly basis or as needed.

- that printer will appear on the screen above; otherwise, the codes
- will be blank. If you need to enter codes for your printer, look them
- up in your printer manual and enter them on the screen above. Press
- F10 when you have entered the last code. The codes will be stored on
- disk and you will proceed to the next screen. The decimal codes can
- usually be found in a table in the back of your printer manual or in a

- 3.2a The Overlay Template
-
- The overlay template is used to apply the same information into
- several "day blocks" without having to retype it every time. There
- are two functions involved: Ctrl E will allow you to edit the template
- and Ctrl A will allow you to apply the template to the current "day
- block".
-
- Editing the template:

- --------------------
-
-
- Press F10 when finished editing template.
-
-
- Just type in the information you want the template to hold for you
- until you apply the template. For example you could put "--Vacation--"
- in the template and then apply the template to the days that you will
- be on vacation.
-
-
-
-
- Applying the template:
-
- To apply the template, you should first go to the day that you want to
- apply the template to and then simply press Ctrl A. The template will
- be applied to the current day. Note that lines which were not entered
- in the template will not erase information that was in the "day block"
- before you applied the template. To apply the template to another day

- 3.6 Printing the Calendar
-
-
- This option allows you to print a calendar for a range of months.
- Choose option P on the utility menu and you will get the following
- menu:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- | |
- | 1992 |
- | |
- | Enter Month (MM) From... |
- | |
- | To... |
- | |
- | How many times do you want to print this calendar ?...1 |
- | |
- | Do you want to print the notepad text after each month ? (Y/N)...N |
- | |
- | Do you want to print in condensed mode ? (Y/N)...Y |
- | |
- | Do you want to print lines with Asterisks or Graphics ? (A/G)...A |
- | |
- | Enter title for calendar... |
- | |
- | Is your printer a HP,IBM,Epson, or Other compatible ? (H/I/E/O)... |
- | |
- | Start weeks with (SUN/MON/TUE/WED/THU/FRI/SAT) ?... |
- | |
- | Press F10 when finished with options. |
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Just answer the questions appropriately and press F10 when you are
- finished. The title will be printed at the top of each page.
-
- The TITLE will print in double wide characters if you have an Epson or
- IBM compatible printer. If you do not have an Epson or IBM compatible
- printer, make sure you specify that in the last question on the menu
- above.
-
- Please be sure you have entered your printer control codes (section
- 2.5) correctly before executing this routine. If you print in
- condensed mode, the calendar will be printed in 8.5 x 11 format,
- otherwise it will be printed in 14 x 11 format. Both formats should
- print in 8 lines per inch mode.
-
- Note (8 lpi): If your printout is longer than one 11" page, then your
- 8 lines per inch control codes are not working or you reset or turned
- off your printer after the codes were sent to the printer.
-
- Note (graphics): In order to print graphics, your printer must be able
- to accept graphics characters. Please be sure the symbol set your
- printer is using contains the extended graphics characters to print
- boxes. HP Laserjet compatible printers will automatically load the PC-
- 8 symbol set that contains the graphics characters.
-
- The "START WEEKS WITH..." question above allows you to start each week
- on a different day other than the normal way (Sunday).

- 3.9 The Notepad
-
- While working on a calendar (option W on main menu), you have the
- ability to enter notes in a pop-up notepad in addition to the
- information you enter in the "day blocks". Just press the F9 function
- key. An asterisk (*) will be displayed in the lower right hand corner
- of "day blocks" that have notes attached (this asterisk will show up
- on calendar printouts also).
-
- The notes may be printed out when the calendar is printed. On
- printouts, the notes follow the month that they are associated with.
-
-
-
- 3.10 Month at a Glance
-
- This is option G on the main menu. It allows you to see an entire
- month on the screen. Days with information in the "day block" are
- highlighted. Days with information in the notepad are blinking. To
- display a "day block" or notepad, simply move the cursor to the
- appropriate day and press either the F1 or F2 function keys. The month

- 3.11 CHECK (external display program)
-
- This is a stand-alone program that will display the current week's
- "day blocks" on the screen. It can be very useful if put in a batch
- file or even in the autoexec.bat file so the calendar will be
- displayed when you turn your computer on. The format of the check
- command is: CHECK c:\subdirectory\filename
-
- Where c:\subdirectory is the drive letter and subdirectory where you
- have installed Year Planner. For example, if the Year Planner system
- was installed in the CALENDAR subdirectory on the C drive and the
- calendar file you wanted to check was TEST91 then the command would
- be:
- CHECK c:\calendar\test91
-
- Also... make sure that the CHECK.EXE program file is in the
- subdirectory where you want to execute it from. (otherwise you will
- get a program not found error). If you put the check command in the
- autoexec.bat file, copy the CHECK.EXE file to your root directory.
