- 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.
