- Short: Create calendars w/ events in FW
- Author: Ron Goertz
- Uploader: rgoertz@wsu.edu
- Type: util/rexx
- Replaces: util/rexx/FWCalendar*
-
- A macro for creating calendars in Final Writer v4+, and a macro for adding events to
- those calendars.
-
- The calendar macro by Andrew McCardie is a very versatile macro, allowing calendars
- in three different formats. The calendars work well for posting on a wall or desk
- and writing appointments or important dates in. But I wanted more ...
-
- I wanted to print the previous month and next month (mini calendars). I wanted
- pre-defined holidays (including those on floating days, like Thanksgiving) and
- special occasions to be inserted automatically when the calendar was created. I
- wanted to enter single-day events on the calendars with Final Writer. I wanted to
- enter events stretching across several days or weeks easily. Even though it's my
- first AREXX program/Final Writer macro, I think FWCalendar does a fine job of meeting
- these goals.
-
- Features:
- Mini calendars
- Automatic holidays
- Single-day events
- Multi-day/week events
- Multiple-line events
- Boxed events
- "Shadowed" days from previous/next months
- Repeated weekly events
- Option to print full year on a single page
- 'Localized'
- Full control over colors
-
- CALENDAR MACRO HISTORY
-
- 2.15 Allowed true cancellation of the "Save changes to document?" requestor
- Added a TestMode to check the variables in the FWCalendar.data file.
- Corrected the order in which user variables are read; resulted in the
- proper use of localized values for Black and White.
- If Extended mode is turned off, the empty boxes are no longer drawn
-
- 2.10 Moved ALL user variables to FWCalendar.data file
- Added control over colors for about everything (see variables)
- Re-wrote (cleaned up) LOTS of the code
-
- 2.05 Not a version change, because it's exactly the same as the previous
- version 2.05 without my mistake of accidentally commenting out two
- essential lines. Do have some updates to the German and Italian
- translation (FWCalendar.data) files, though. SORRY!
-
- 2.05 Deleted my hard-coded margins. Oops!
- Canned the FW requestors in favor of Reqtools requestors
- Changed the way the upper area (the area with the mini-calendars
- and the month name) is calculated to allow for hard-coding margins
- (Dieter Zimmermann wanted his calendars to appear on the lower half
- of a portrait-oriented page, presumably to allow the addition of a
- picture on the upper half. Good idea, Dieter!)
-
- 2.0 Now 'localized' for American, German, Spanish, French,
- Italian, and Portugese
-
- 1.4 Full-year calendar now fills the full page
- Font widths now work
-
- 1.3 Fixed macro to allow use of a comma for the decimal point
- instead of the period
-
- 1.2 Added box/bold of highlight dates in mini-calendars
- Added option to print full year of calendars on a single
- page
-
- 1.1 de-Americanized macro (no longer assumes US Letter paper
- and inch units)
-
- 1.01 Corrected default margins
- Removed my personal highlights
- Set default fonts to more likely locations
-

-
-
- ADDEVENT MACRO HISTORY
-
- 2.40 Accommodated changes in FWCalendar.data file
-
- 2.35 Accommodated the upper-area-calculation change made in FWCalendar.rexx
- macro.
-
- 2.3 Fixed bug that didn't allow the close gadget to work
- Now 'localized' for American, German, Spanish, French,
- Italian, and Portugese
-
- 2.2 Can now (indirectly) enter the '$' in events (see User Variables)
-
- 2.1 Fixed macro to allow use of a comma for the decimal point
- instead of the period
-
- 2.0 Now REQUIRES Gui4Cli, but what an improvement!

-
- 1.2 de-Americanized macro (no longer assumes US Letter paper
- and inch units)
