- Calendar Documentation
- ======================
-
- The Calendar programs are designed to be used as part of a
- 'startup-sequence'. They provide an easy way to update the
- system time and date. Calendar also will list short memos
- for the current month as an option.
-
- The Calendar program reads the current system date and comes
- up with what the Amiga thinks is the current year, month, day
- and time. The year and month can be changed by clicking on
- the <<<< and >>>> gadgets. The day can be changed by clicking
- on the desired date. The hours and minutes are set with the
- slider gadgets under them. AM and PM are set automatically.
-
- Both programs provide a SetDate gadget. This causes the system
- date and time to be reset and a file written to the S: directory
- called 'now'. This file is datestamped with the current date and
- time. Calendar1 has a Use gadget that resets the system time
- without writting a file. The Close gadget will exit without
- changing anything.
-
- Calendar has a Memo gadget. This option does the same thing as
- the SetDate gadget, plus it will read a disk file for memo items.
- All items with the current month will be listed to the screen.
- The disk file is simple text file that has the day in the first
- two columns, a blank and the month. Only the first three letters
- of the month are used. 'Dates' is an example of the text file.
- To use the Memo option, 1) create a text file and place it somewhere
- on your boot disk and 2) call it when you call Calendar
- Example: Calendar df0:c/Dates
