New Features of REMIND version 4.6:
This version is essentially the same as version 4.5 except that I
have corrected some potential bugs within both REMIND.EXE and
ENTERDAY.EXE.
With this version, the editor function of ENTERDAY still has a
400-line limit but at least now if you have more than 400 lines
within REMIND.DTA and if you try to load it into the editor,
the program will not abort as did the previous versions. It
will simply display a warning sign while returning you to the
main menu.
In addition, with this version, REMIND.EXE is now insensitive
to entry errors within REMIND.DTA. Entry errors within
REMIND.DTA can only happen if you use an outside ASCII editor
to edit the entries (if you use the built-in editor to edit the
file, this will never happen.) Each entry must be in the
following format in order for REMIND.EXE to be able to read it:
<B or *> <month> <day> <reminder text>
where B signifies a birthday and * signifies a non-birthday
and <month> and <day> are numbers separated by a space.
With the previous versions, if a line that you have entered
using an ASCII editor does not conform exactly to the above
format, REMIND.EXE will not be able to recognize it when it
reads to that line. The program will then abort every time it
reads up to that line.
With this newer version, REMIND.EXE is now insensitive to
"garbage lines" within REMIND.DTA. It will simply skip over
any entry that was erroneously entered, preventing an aborted
program.
I have also added a tune to July 4th, you will hear it when the
day comes.
