Description
Do you keep forgetting about birthdays, anniversaries and other important
events?
Well, there are plenty of public domain products on the market that will
prevent that from happening.
But, do you also want to
- keep track of the remaining days to important events?
- keep track of the days since important events happened?
- automatically start certain programs depending on the date and time?
- be reminded every # day (e.g. every 14th day)?
- be reminded # days before or after the event
- be reminded once a day, every time you boot, before or after a certain
date, before or after a certain hour or minute?
- be reminded about events until you acknowledge them?
- be reminded with requesters, alerts or practically anything that can be
displayed on an Amiga-monitor?
- display unlimited lines of text in the same requester/alert (only
limited by the screen's resolution and memory)
- group different events in the same requester or alert?
- keep a simple database of the birthdays of family and friends?
- let your Amiga keep track of how old people are by insterting the date
of birth in the middle of the string where you want to display the age?
(E.g. the text "Adam is {080570} years old today" will be displayed as
"Adam is 23 years old today".)
- make advanced events which are displayed for example after 21:00 every
3rd day the first 7 days of every 2nd month the next 4 years?
- combine all of the attributes mentioned above in the same event?
- enter these events in an easy-to-use environment and without the need of
programming-knowledge, just by entering the desired text and pressing a
few buttons?
Well, then you will find this program extremely useful, because Recall
will do exactly that for you! It is an easy-to-use, intuition-based
utility for the absent-minded!

THANKS TO: Thorsten Gau for the SBasePro4 script and all those who sent
me suggestions and bugs, and of course the translators and
the betatesters. I would also like to thank all those who
dropped me a note on my e-mail address. The response has
been enormous. If this keeps up, I'll have to hire a
secretary :-)

Copyrights
This application is freely redistributable as long as the archive is not
modified in any way.
Think twice before you:
- SPREAD or DELETE parts of this program. Some people actually read the
docs (you are, at the moment!). All of the following files and
their icons MUST be in the archive:
Install/Install : Installer-script for harddrive-users
Unstall/Unstall : Removes the application from a system
Recall : Main program
Prefs/Recall : Preference-program
Tools/RecallConverter : Program to import and export projects
Docs/Recall.guide : Documentation in AmigaGuide-format
Docs/Recall.ASCII : Documentation in ASCII-format
Docs/ReConvert.guide : Documentation in AmigaGuide-format
Docs/ReConvert.ASCII : Documentation in ASCII-format
Recall.prefs : An example-project
Locale (dir) : Contains the language catalogs
Scripts (dir) : Various scripts for processing data.
- CRUNCH this program and then spread it. Some decrunchers use a lot of
memory and not all of the users have all that memory available! Most of
the Amiga-owners dislike colorcycling pointers and screens, and not all
crunchers have available decrunchers, so the user may not be able to
decrunch the program if she/he wants to!
- SELL or INCLUDE this in a commercial package! This program is dedicated
to the Amiga society and is placed in the Public Domain! If you charge
more than a reasonable copy fee for this package, people are sure to
find out about you sooner or later, and that will certainly be the end
for you in the Amiga-scene!
- BUY this program. You have been swindled! If you actually read this
text, the seller must be pretty dumb not removing this text before
selling it to you (he probably assumes you're just another lamer that
can't read!).
- USE this program. In spite of several test, no warranty is made that
there's no more bugs in this application. You use this program at your
own risks! I will not under any circumstances be liable for any damage,
direct or indirect, resulting of the use of any programs in this
package. If Recall forgot to remind you about some events, DO NOT BLAME
ME - if you were not so absent-minded you wouldn't be needing an utility
like this in the first place: You can eithe
