I. INTRODUCTION
A. What Is CALTRV ?
CALTRV is a program that produces a nicely formatted
calendar report (Screen, Printer, or File) from Sidekick+'s
Calendar file without invoking Sidekick+. CALTRV's three reports
(Daily, Weekly, Monthly) give you a quick and concise view of you
plans and appointment. This is especially helpful in your
AUTOEXEC file to show you what is on your Calendar for the next
few days. Also CALTRV's reports were designed to fit into a small
notebook suitable for traveling. To invoke CALTRV just type
CALTRV from the DOS command line or place the command CALTRV
somewhere in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
For Help on Parameters and to find out the defaults - type:
C:\>CALTRV /?
Also available to CALTRV users is Resident-TaskManager.
Resident-TaskManager allows you to integrate your task list with
your calendar to get a comprehensive list of your daily
activities. See the /T option described later in this document.
B. CALTRV's Current Limitations & Restrictions
845 Appointments within selected time span
64K SK+ Record Sizes (Usually caused by a lot of repeating
appointments or HUGE notes.
50 Notes per day
C. !!!Warning!!!
There have been a few isolated reports of corrupted SK+
calendars. This condition is NOT caused by CALTRV (CALTRV IS READ
ONLY!) nor is CALTRV very happy when it runs into a corrupted
Calendar. The sequence of events that occurs is that CALTRV
reports it is reading the appointment file, it may report it is
processing the repeats, and the system hangs. This is NOT (99.9%
of the time) a problem with CALTRV! If you run into this
condition please contact me. I am trying to program around this
condition but need one or more calendars to test with.
D. Files Included on Distribution Disk
The CALTRV Distribution Disk contains the following files:
CALTRV.EXE - The CALTRV program
CALTRV.DOC - This file
CALTINST.EXE - An installation program for setting CALTRV
Options
README - Changes or important information not included in
the printed documentation (CALTRV.DOC).
REGISTER.BAT - A BATch file to print out the registration form
CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 1
to your printer (LPT1)
REGFORM.DOC - The actual Registration Form
PRINTDOC.BAT - A BATch file to print out this documentation
file to your printer (LPT1)
VENDOR.DOC - Instructions to Disk Vendors who wish to
distribute CALTRV.
Copy these files onto your disk into whatever directory you
wish. Then, consider how you want to run CALTRV and set your
options (See: Installation Program later in this file).
E. Shareware
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
CALTRV is distributed as Shareware -- this means WetZoft
Applications encourages users, subject to restrictions described
below, to share copies of this program with friends, associates
and bulletin boards. You may not share the registered version of
Resident Task Manager.
If you make copies of CALTRV, you must include all files in
the original distribution file. You are not permitted to
distribute CALTRV without this documentation.
II. LEGAL STUFF
A. Acknowledgements
A special thanks to all of those who encouraged me to
continue with this project with words of praise, thanks, and many
new ideas.
Thanks to TurboPower Software for furnishing an excellent
set of utilities (Turbo Professional 5.0) that made this program
possible in 25% of the time it would have taken me otherwise.

will search for the CALENDAR file "/C" in the following places:
Current Directory
Directory where CALTRV resides (It's a good Idea to put CALTRV
in the same directory as your SK+ Calendar
DOS Path
A. Detailed Explanation Of Options
1. /B {Begin Date}
/B MM/DD/YY {Begin Date} - CALTRV will start its report with the
date specified by the user. The Date format is: MM/DD/YY.
Month and Day must be valid 2 digit date numbers: Month (01-
12), Day (01->Days in Month). The default is today's
(system) date.
2. /C {Calendar}
/C filename.ext {Calendar} - This parameter is used to tell
CALTRV what Sidekick+ APP file to use. The default is
PERSONAL.APP. If the specified file cannot be found in the
Current Directory CALTRV will search for the file (DOS 3.x
and higher) in the directory where CALTRV resides and the
DOS Path. Full Drive and Path information is accepted. **
This is an installable option.
3. /D {Days}
/D [n] {Days} - This parameter is used to tell CALTRV that you
want "Daily" reports and how many days of calendar data you
want to print. The valid range is 1 to 365. The default is
1. ** This is an installable option.
CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 5
4. /E {End Date}
/E MM/DD/YY {End Date} - CALTRV will end its report with the date
specified by the user. The Date format is: MM/DD/YY. Month
and Day must be valid 2 digit date numbers: Month (01-12),
Day (01-Day in Month). The default is todays (system) date.
/E overrides the /D option. The default is the Begin
Date(/B) + Days(/D)
5. /F {File Out}
/F [filename.ext] {File Out} - Optionally CALTRV can write its
report out to a disk file. The default filename used is
PERSONAL.RPT and will be written in the current directory.
No checking is done to see if the file already exists so BE
CAREFUL! If /F is specified with no other parameters the
default Report File name is used. You can also specify the
name of the file you want to use after the /F.
Examples:
CALTRV /F /D 20 Writes a 20 day report to
PERSONAL.RPT
CALTRV /F MYFILE.CAL /D 20 Writes a 20 day report to
MYFILE.CAL
** This is an installable option.
6. /G {Graphics}
/G {Graphics} - This option tells CALTRV that you have a Graphics
capable (IBM Line Draw) printer. When possible CALTRV will
use the IBM line draw characters to print the calendar
reports rather than standard ASCII characters.
7. /H {Help}
/H {Help} - Tells CALTRV to list a short help screen for the
user.
8. /M {Monthly}
/M [n] {Monthly} - This parameter is used to tell CALTRV that you
want "Monthly" reports and how many months of calendar data
you want to print. The valid range is 1 to 12. The default
is 1. ** This is an installable option.
9. /N {Print Notes}
/N {Print Notes} - CALTRV will optionally display a limited
amount (4096 bytes) of note information that is attached to
a Title or Appointment. There are a couple of restrictions:
1) Note lines are limited to 65 characters (you can have
longer lines in SK+ but the printed report will be
CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 6
truncated) 2) The printed report will show up to 15 note
lines. If /N is specified by itself CALTRV will print out as
much of the note as possible. If an optional number is
provided CALTRV will limit the number of note lines printed
to the number specified (within the limits described above).
Examples:
CALTRV /N Writes a 1 week report with attached notes.
CALTRV /N 4 Writes a 1 week report with attached notes
but only printing a maximum of 4 lines per note.
10. /P {Print Output}
/P {Print Output} - Tells CALTRV to route its report to the
printer. CALTRV will issue user defined Printer
Setup/Termination Strings and will accept a User Defined
Page Size. ** This is an installable option.
11. /T {Task File}
/T [filename.ext] {Task File} - Optionally CALTRV can interface
with Resident-TaskManager to integrate Tasks / ToDo Lists
with Calendar Output. The default filename used is RTM.DAT
and will be read from the current directory. If /T is
specified with no other parameters the default Task File
name is used. You can also specify the name of the file you
want to use after the /T.
Examples:
CALTRV /T /D 20 Produces a 20 day report with
RTM.DAT
CALTRV /T MYTASKS.DAT /D 20 Produces the same report with
MYTASKS.DATA
Please note that if you have a Task Due 21 Days or more from
the starting date of the report CALTRV will not include it
into the report. CALTRV looks for PAST DUE Tasks and all
TASKS up to and including the Report End Date.
** This is an installable option.
12. /V {Max Video}
/V {Max Video} - This option instructs CALTRV to use the maximum
video mode available for the monitor type being used (44
Lines EGA/50 Lines VGA). ** This is an installable option.
CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 7
13. /W {Weeks}
/W [n] {Weeks} - This parameter is used to tell CALTRV that you
want "Weekly" reports and how many weeks of calendar data
you want to print. The valid range is 1 to 52. The default
is 1. ** This is an installable option.
14. /? {Help}

B. Sample Command Lines
List (CRT) daily appointments for the next 5 days
C:\>CALTRV /d 5
List (Printer) daily appointments for the next 5 days
C:\>CALTRV /d 10 /p
List (Printer) all appointments for June 1989
C:\>CALTRV /b 06/01/89 /m 1 /p
*** Note the two digit month & day
List (CRT) appointments for the next week in the Common App
File
C:\>CALTRV /c C:\SKPLUS\COMMON.APP
*** Note: 1 Week is default so does not need to be specified
IV. ERROR MESSAGES
Listed below are error messages generated by CALTRV and possible
explanations:
*** ERROR! mm/dd/yy Invalid Begin Date Specified
This message is generated when an invalid Begin Date /B is
specified. This could be the result of invalid month or day
values or the month or day value was specified with a single
digit.
CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 8
*** ERROR! mm/dd/yy Invalid End Date Specified
This message is generated when an invalid End Date /E is
specified. This could be the result of invalid month or day
values or the month or day value was specified with a single
digit.
*** Warning: End Date < Begin Date --- Begin/End Date Forced
Equal
This message is generate when the End Date is chronologically
prior to the Begin Date.
*** Warning: Appointment Limit Exceeded. nnn Appointment Records
Skipped!
CALTRV has a limit (specified earlier) on the number of
Appointments it can store. If this limit is exceeded all
remaining appointment records are skipped. This usually
results in a loss of repeating appointment records. Due to the
nature of the SK+ calendar early repeating appointments may be
lost while later "standard" appointments will be shown.
*** Warning: Max Exceptions Exceeded
Repeating appointments can be excluded(deleted) on specified
days using SK+. This is flagged in the calendar file as an
exception to the repeat. CALTRV can track up to 30 exceptions
per repeating appointment.
*** Warning: Insufficient Memory to Process Notes
CALTRV will store up to 4K bytes of note data per appointment.
Obviously every computer system has its memory limits. If you
use a lot of big notes you may run out of available memory.
You may also see this message if you run CALTRV while shelled
out of another program.
*** Warning: Insufficient Memory to Process Repeating Notes
Repeating notes are subject to the same memory limitations as
standard notes discussed above.
*** ERROR! SK+ Record Size Exceeded CALTRV Limit. Processing
TERMINATED!
SK+ supposedly can have very large records (2 Billion+ Bytes).
Well CALTRV's current limit is 60K records (NOT FILE SIZE)
within a file. Normally you shouldn't come even come close to
this unless you have a LOT of repeating appointments or some
VERY big notes. If this message occurs you might want to try
deleting some of your prior years data from your calendar - it
may help.
CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 9
*** ERROR! Filename Not Found or Invalid Calendar File Specified.
This message is a result of CALTRV not finding the filename
specified in the installation program or on the command line
with the /C option. Check the spelling and Drive and Path
information supplied.
V. INSTALLATION PROGRAM
CALTRV comes with a simple installation program. This
program allows you to set some of the DEFAULTS that CALTRV uses.
Most of these are pretty straight forward but a small explanation
is appropriate at this point.
To use the installation program all you need to do is type
in CALTINST. CALTINST MUST be in the same directory as CALTRV and
CALTRV must not be renamed. CALTINST allows you to alter the
following:
Field Defaults
Appointment File Location PERSONAL.APP
Default Output Disk File PERSONAL.RPT
Report Type [Weekly]
Days/Weeks/Months to Preview 1
Standard Fore/Background BrWhite/Blue
Message Fore/Background Black /Lt Gray
Printer Setup String [ ]
Printer Termination String [ ]
Page Length: 59
Daily Start Time 08:00a
Time Format Am/Pm
Video Max Off
Print Notes On
Use Line Draw Off
Resident Task File Location: RTM.DAT
The fields are self explanatory but a brief explanation is
listed below. There is pop-up help (F1) available for each field.
Please note that if you press <ESC> the installation will be
canceled and any changes will be lost.
A. Default Appointment Path & Filename
CALTRV's uses the default SIDEKICK PLUS Time Planner File -
PERSONAL.APP. If you have renamed your Time Planner file change
CALTRV's default here. The format is: d:\PATH\FILENAME.EXT. If
you omit drive or path CALTRV will search for the Time Planner
file using DOS 3.x defaults : Current Directory, CALTRV's
Directory, and Path. You can always override this option with
the /C Command Line Option.
CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 10
B. Default Output Disk File Name
CALTRV will send it's output report to a Disk File:
PERSONAL.RPT if you specify the /F option on the command line. If
you wish to change the file name enter it here. Format is:
d:\PATH\FILENAME.EXT. Omit the drive or path if you want the
report to go to the default drive and path. You can also specify
the file name with the /F command line option to override this
default.
C. Default Report Type
CALTRV offers 3 Report Types - Daily, Weekly, & Monthly You
can specify /D for Daily /W for Weekly or /M for Monthly on the
command line. If no option is specified this default value will
be used. Space/+/-Toggle Switches.
D. Default Days/Weeks/Months to Preview
CALTRV assumes you want to view the next "n" Days / Weeks /
Months by default. "n" is in terms of the report type to the
left. You can override this default each time you run CALTRV with
the /D,/W,/M parameter. You may change the CALTRV default here.
E. Default Screen Colors
CALTRV uses 2 Basic Colors Standard Fore/Background and
Message Fore/Background. Use the Space/+/- keys to toggle through
the color options. The Color Sample Box shows what the current
color selections will look like (if saved).
F. Print Initialization / Termination Strings
CALTRV will send Printer Initialization and Termination
Strings when the /P parameter is specified. Enter the control
codes appropriate for your printer. To enter a Page Eject enter
<CtrlP> <CtrlL>. Only the <CrtlL> will display. You can enter
multiple codes.
G. Default Print Page Length
CALTRV will issue a Page Eject (^L) at the end of each page.
CALTRV defaults to 59 lines per page. Enter the number of lines
you would like printed on each page. This option controls the
size of the Note/Task Box. The main portion of the report will
always print.
H. Default Daily Start Time
CALTRV normally starts "Daily" reports at 8:00. You can
change this by +/- 1 Hour in 30 minute increments. CALTRV tries
to integrate your appointments intelligently. That is, if you use
a start time of 8:00 and you have appointments before 8:00 the
appointments will be inserted at the appropriate spot. All other
CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 11
times will be adjusted to compensate for the inserted time. You
can toggle the start time with the Space/+/- keys.
I. Default Time Format
CALTRV normally prints out times in AM/PM format. If you set
SK+ to 24 Hr format then you should also set this flag to 24 Hr.
Toggle this field with the Space/+/- keys.
J. Default Video Max
CALTRV has a command line switch (/V - Max Video) to control
the default video mode. You can turn on Max Video (43/50 Lines on
EGA/VGA Screens) with the /V switch or toggle the field here with
the Space/+/- keys.
K. Print Note Option
CALTRV will print up to 4096 bytes of note information
associated with each appointment. This option can be toggled on
with the /N [n] command line switch or you can toggle the field
permanently on in this install program. If turned on permanently
here you can always limit the note output by specifying /N 1 (or
the limit of your choice on the command line.) Toggle this field
with the Space/+/- keys.
L. Use Line Draw
CALTRV normally prints out its reports using standard ASCII
characters. If you have a printer that supports the IBM Line Draw
Character Set then you can set this option on. CALTRV will use
the Line Draw character set in its daily & weekly reports. This
option can also be turned on with the /G command line option.
M. Default Resident Task Manager File
CALTRV will read Task files from Resident TaskManager if you
specify the /T option on the command line. If you wish to change
the file name enter it here. Format is: d:\PATH\FILENAME.EXT.
Please make sure the Task File EXISTS! You can always specify a
different file on the command line with/T [Filename]. Resident
TaskManager is available separately.
N. Print End Times Option
CALTRV, by default, will not print the ending times of
appointments on it's Weekly report. This allows for longer
appointment descriptions. If you need the end times printed
toggle this field to "ON". Space/+/- keys toggle this field.
VI. ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS
The owner of WetZoft Applications is a member of the
Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP), an organization
CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 12
formed in April 1987 to strengthen the future of shareware (user-
supported software) as an alternative to commercial software.
Its members, all of whom are programmers who subscribe to a code
of ethics, are committed to the concept of shareware as a method
of marketing.
ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works
for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related
problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP
may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a
dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at P.O. Box 5786, Bellevue, WA 98006 or send a
Compuserve message via easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536
A. The primary goals of the ASP:
To inform users about shareware programs and about
shareware as a method of distributing and marketing
software;
To encourage broader distribution of shareware through user
groups and disk dealers who agree to identify and explain
the nature of shareware;
To assist members in marketing their software;
To provide a forum through which ASP members may
communicate, share ideas, and learn from each other; and
To foster a high degree of professionalism among shareware
authors by setting programming, marketing, and support
standards for ASP members to follow.
VII. OTHER PROGRAMS BY WETZOFT APPLICATIONS
A. Resident-TaskManager - RTM
Resident-TaskManager is a memory-resident program to manages
lists of tasks, reminders or ToDo's. Really, this can be
anything you want it to be: a general list of things to do, a
list of appointments, tasks you've delegated, etc.
Resident-TaskManager's most important feature is it's
ability to load as a memory-resident program. That means it's
available to you whenever you need to use it. And, it only uses
about 6K while doing so.
Resident-TaskManager has the following features for managing
lists:
. Multiple lists
. Add, Modify, Delete, Repeat
. Sorting
CALTRV CALendar for TRaVel Documentation Page: 13
. Prioritization
. Easy date manipulation
. A user-definable field
. Audit Files
. Simple Printing
Resident-TaskManager provides the best combination of memory
usage, simplicity, and features for managing small lists of
tasks.
B. CALRPT
CALRPT is a program that produces a nicely formatted
calendar report (Screen, Printer, or File) from Sidekick+'s
Calendar file without invoking Sidekick+. This is especially
helpful in your AUTOEXEC file to show you what is on your
Calendar for the next few days. To invoke CALRPT just type CALRPT
