-
- Welcome to the appointment program.
- This program was written to enable you to enter and print lists
- of appointments. I found that Sidekick would not do the type of
- listing that I required.
-
- Sidekick is a trademark of Borland Industries.
-
-
-
-
- You will find that the APPT program has a bar like menu to operate
- the entire program. The menu choices are clearly displayed above
- the program logo. This was done to prevent the endless levels of
- menus that can exist in a program of this nature.
-
- To choose one of the menu choices just press the number associated
- with the choice.
-
- 1 Appointment - will pull down a box containing 2 more choices.
-
- 1 Add/Edit and appointment. This selection is self explanatory
- when you choose this option the program will index the database
- and prompt you for a date. If the date is already a part of the
- data the previously entered information will be displayed for
- you to edit. Otherwise you may enter the new information. You
- will be asked if you want to add any more dates. A Y will add
- one day to the last date entered and allow new entries. (This
- will be extremely handy when entering a week at a time) Also
- the Day of the Week will be figured and displayed for you. This
- way you'll know if your scheduling yourself to work on a saturday.
-
- 2 Delete appointments. You will be prompted for a date to delete
- and all dates prior to today will be marked for deletion. This
- will enable you to keep the size of your data under control.
- After marking the records for deletion they will be displayed
- for your review. If there are more than 25 days being deleted
- the listing will scroll off of the screen. If you don't want
- them deleted answer N to the next question and all will be
- unmarked and none deleted.
- | *** NOTE If you delete a day in your calendar i.e. tommorrow. You will
- not be able to use the ADD/EDIT function to re-enter that date.
-
-
- 2 Print - will pull down a box containing 2 more choices.
-
- 1 Print a list (Complete). Prints a list of all available information
- in the database ie. Date, day, appointment, type, time of appointment.
-
- 2 Print a list (Brief). Prints listing of the Date, day of the week and
- the Appointment. The amount of days requested on the report is now
- part of the report header.
-
- 3 Utilities - a box containing 6 choices.
-
- 1 Program version. Self Explainatory
-
- 2 Time. Will display a clock on screen. Also good to prevent
- screen burn in.
-
- 3 Program Configuration. Configure your program and set up data files.
- You must configure the program before you use it otherwise errors
- will plague an otherwise enjoyable program.
-
- 4 Read Program Text. This is an option to read this documentation
- without leaving the program.
-
- 5 Backup Data. Allows you to copy your data file to a diskette.
-
- v3.90| 6 Create Appt Types. This allows you the user to establish what
- types of appointments to track. You should be careful not to
- erase the brackets in the fields when entering or if they are
- not important to you, you can type over them allowing for 2
- additional spaces for a total of 12. These entries will be
- displayed whenever Adding or Editing an appointment.
-
- 4 DOS Shell - allows you to exit to DOS and return without quiting the
- program. Just remember to type EXIT to return to the Appointment
- program.
-
- 9 Quit - Leave the program, but come again real soon.
-

-
- DISCLAIMER:
- I hope you enjoy the program. I accept no responsibility for any damage
- caused directly or indirectly by this program. I will continue to improve
- the program as needed. Any suggestions would be taken under advisement.
-
-
-
- REGISTRATION:
- Currently there is no established registration procedure for this program.
- I will, however, accept donations for the program and those who donate will
- be notified whenever updates or changes are made. So in essence, that is
- registering the program. Whenever the following for this program grows I
- will include a formal registration request. $15.00 is a suggested donation
- however any amount will be greatly appreciated.
