Tasker Prioritizer Software
Copyright 1992, 1993
Mark C. Vang
Compuserve: 76206.1557
Internet: 76206.1557@COMPUSERVE.COM
This software is distributed as shareware. It is not public domain or
freeware software.
I wrote Tasker to fill a simple need. I often found myself creating lists
of tasks. After creating the list, I would then prioritize them. The
problem with this is that my brain does not remember things based on their
priority... So I ended up with priorities jumbled all over my messy list.
Tasker lets me type tasks as they occur to me and then I can assign
priorities. This list can then be printed and all I have to do is check
stuff off as I complete it.
Tasker already does all that I want it to do, but I have a bunch of neat
ideas on other ways that Tasker could work as an organizational tool. This
is where you come in. I have distributed Tasker as shareware so that people
would use it, find it useful and come up with ways that it could be improved
and be more useful. Tasker has a unique user feeback feature. Each time you
use tasker you are asked for comments. Your comments are saved in a file
called COMMENT.FIL. If you like you can then send this to me file via
CompuServe's SEND FILE option (other networks will be different).
The catch...
This software is shareware. I request $10 to register your copy. If you
are a registered user and submit an upgrade idea that I use you will receive
that upgrade for free. Since I may implement more than one upgrade idea
per upgrade release you could cash in on a lot of neat features.
This is kind of an experiment for me. I am in it to see what I can learn
and if this method of marketing shareware is effective. As far as I know,
nobody incorporates and auto-feedback feature in their software.
