Short: Timed reminder for 2.04+ WB - V1.1
Uploaded: tkreuzer@delphi.com
Author: tkreuzer@delphi.com
Features
- Outputs a reminder consisting of a user-supplied
text string following a user-defined time interval
- Time interval can be based on either a:
-- Standard clock (HH:MM AM/PM), or
-- Duration (HH:MM:SS)
- Reminder can be:
-- A Workbench screen-based pop-up window
with optional Workbench screen flash
-- Spoken via the AmigaDOS "Say" command
(see "Requirements")
-- Both the above
- Spoken reminder is tunable as follows:
-- Choice of Male/Female/Natural/Monotone voice
-- Selectable speed
-- Selectable pitch
-- Test button allows you to hear the spoken reminder
so you can checkout your "tuning" prior to committing
the reminder
- Gadtools user-interface
- Tested OK using the Enforcer
Requirements
- AmigaDOS 2.04(+)
- 68000(+) CPU
- To utilize the spoken reminder option, you must have
the following files present:
-- L:speak-handler
-- LIBS:translator.library
-- DEVS:narrator.device
-- SYS:Utilities/Say
Note that the above is the standard "speech" software
distribution and placement for AmigaDOS 1.3 and 2.04.
Commodore ceased distribution of these files beginning
with AmigaDOS 2.1.
If you have upgraded to AmigaDOS 2.1 and/or 3.0, you
should be able to copy these files from your original
AmigaDOS 1.3 and/or 2.04 distribution disks.
Finally, the exact location of the "Say" program can
be adjusted via the SAYLOCATION Tooltype (see "Icon
Tooltypes"). That is, the "Say" program does NOT have
to be in the SYS:Utilities directory.
Limitations
- Can only be used from the Workbench (start via Icon)
- Only 1 reminder per program execution is supported
- Once set, no method of canceling a reminder is provided
- Previously set reminders do not survive system reboots
- A maximum period of 24 hours is supported for both duration types
- Reminder was developed on an A1200 and A4000 running AmigaDOS 3.0
I do not have an AmigaDOS 2.04 or 2.1 system to test on
Therefore, I cannot guarantee that the program will work
100% correctly under 2.04 or 2.1
Please let me know if you have success using Reminder on either
a 2.04 or 2.1-based system
Release Notes
- Version 1.0 : Initial release.
- Version 1.1 : Added spoken reminder functionality.
Reworked user interface given the preceding.
Changed "library version" minimum to include
AmigaDOS 2.04 and above.
Changed compilation/link CPU target to
"any CPU".
