8-16-89 Version 1.1: Changes from version 1.0
1. Minor bug repair October, 1989 display incorrect (fixed).
2. Improved sort speed by factor of 6+; now subsorts messages.
This allows you to put in military time (08:00....16:00) or A
8:00, P 2:00 and get messages sorted by time of day. Sort now
also removes single year entries before current date. This
improves performance by removing "dead" entries.
3. Graphics screens are now internal to program. This saves your
disk space.
4. Dates other than the current date can now be displayed by
typing: CAL MM/DD/YY or CAL MM/DD if the current year is desired.
If no date is typed the calendar for the current date is
displayed.
5. CALEDIT allows entry of an asterisk in the add menu to mean
all 12 months. (*="JFMAYULGSOND"). This can save keystrokes.
6. ANSI.SYS is no longer required for use.
7. The program will now run on monochrome systems as well as
color systems.
8. CALEDIT will now print out the file in a formatted form for
use as a record or as an extensive editing guide.
11-7-89 Version 1.11:
9. Annoying "flashing" of background in caledit program fixed.
11-14-89 Version 1.12:
10. timer fixed so that program does not lock up computer at
midnight.
04-26-90 Version 1.20:
12. MM, MM/DD, M/DD, M/D, MM/D are now allowed for displaying
other than current date. (See number 5 above) Dashes (11-10-91)
also work.
13. Shareware message put on shareware version.
System Requirements:
To run this program you must have a 100% IBM compatible PC,
XT, AT or 386 machine. Either a color or monochrome monitor is
acceptable with 256 K of memory. It is preferable to have an
automatic clock-calendar on board, but the program can be used if
the setting of the current date occurs in the autoexec.bat file
before CAL.EXE is run.
Purpose of the Program:
If you are like me, you have a lot of dates to remember. Your
anniversary, wife's birthday, automobile oil changes, or monthly
club meetings all occur at regular intervals. This program allows
you to keep track of all these and more, and display the
pertinent information each time you bring up your computer.
CAL.EXE displays the current monthly calendar, and then lists
today's events in bright yellow. On monochrome monitors, bold and
normal are used for the display. Events coming up in the next
week are listed in bright red. Editing of the data file
(DATA.CAL) is easy using the CALEDIT.EXE program included. You
can display a calendar for any date by typing CAL MM/DD/YY or CAL
MM-DD-YY. If the date is in the current year, you can just type
CAL MM/DD. (CAL 01/10 would display January calendar of this year
with the events of 10-17). CAL M/D will also work.
Limitations of the Program:
The program is currently limited to 2000 entries in the
DATA.CAL file, and to displaying 32 entries on the screen at one
time. Near the end of the month the program will show entries
from the first week of the next month, although the calendar
still displays only one month at a time. While you can edit the
DATA.CAL file from any text processor, it is not recommended
since mistakes may cause unusual behavior in the program. If you
do decide to use a text processor instead of CALEDIT.EXE, be sure
to pay attention to the formatting. You should still enter and
exit CALEDIT.EXE before displaying the data with CAL.EXE since
CALEDIT.EXE performs a sort on the data as you exit the program.
