The current version of Smart Alarms is 2.9.1. Versions 2.8 and later have a
feature built in to allow you to have the reminder beeps go off just once, or
many times. Unfortunately, you have to use ResEdit to make this feature
available, since the new manual was printed up before the feature was added
and Imagine Software had the feature turned off.
This fix is from John McMullen of JAM Technology, 685 Market Street, Suite
860, San Francisco, Ca. 94105. Phone 415-442-0795. As Imagine Software has
not shared its client records with JAM, John requests all registered users of
Smart Alarms to call or write and let him know who you are. Now, the fix...
Make a copy of the installer, "Install Smart Alarms" Open "Install Smart
Alarms" in ResEdit Open "STR" Open STR "key" & verify that it shows a single
apostrophe ['] If it doesn't, you're on your own. Close STR "key" Open STR
".Rmdr" Change [Reminders File] to ['s Reminders] That's apostrophe s space
Reminders Quit ResEdit and Save the changes to "Install Smart Alarms" Now,
open the Chooser DA and give it a name if it doesn't already have one. Close
chooser and open the Smart Alarms Installer you modified. After getting
through the screens, you'll come to a dialog box with the name of the chooser
inserted and a box to check only if you want the alarm to continue going off.
Don't check it if you don't.
Continue to install or reinstall Smart Alarms. When it comes time to update
your Reminder's File, you'll be asked if you're sure you want to rename it to
the name you put into Chooser. Say okay and you're all set.
If you don't have the latest version of Smart Alarms, be aware that it is
fully compatible with System 6 (.0.1 & .0.2), MacroMaker, has an added Snooze,
will give you a 30 second break when you first boot up, allows you to edit the
message of an alarm that's just gone off, and now shows the messages in the
Smart Alarms' list in 9 point Geneva vs 12 point Chicago. The next version is
supposed to have even better features... Please repost this message on other
bulletin boards to give it the widest distribution.
