HOW TO USE THIS PROGRAM
PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING. THIS FILE WILL GIVE YOU A HEAD START AND A
SHORT SELF-DEMONSTRATION OF THE FUNCTIONS OF DAILY CALENDAR.
SUPPORT: If you need help, call either the voice message line or the
bulletin board number. The bulletin board always has the latest
version of Daily Calendar available and offers other files for
downloading as well.
The purpose of this document is to explain in general how to use Daily
Calendar. The accompanying documentation file (DAY.DOC) provides
detailed instructions on installation and program use. Please refer to
it for more complete documentation.
INSTALLATION:
Your config.sys file must specify at least 41 files and your
autoexec.bat file must contain the line SET CLIPPER=//F41. The number
in the SET CLIPPER line should equal the number of files in the
config.sys file. More than 41 is fine, and 75 or 100 is better for many
systems.
The program will check your environment to see if things are correct.
DATABASES:
The program operates with three databases:
Calendar database - stores appointments, diary/journal entries by date
and time. Entries can be up to 64K (32 pages) for each time.
Name and address database - stores names, addresses and notes by name.
Notes can be up to 64K (32 pages) per person.
To do database - stores items to do by date, category and priority.
The three databases work together and the purpose of the program is to
track appointments, track contacts with people and track items that need
to be done.
The calendar database and the calendar entry system is the key to the
program. From the calendar screen, you can access the name and address
