Diarywin is a daily diary / journal program.
My father keeps a brief narrative on activities
and events in each day. Kind of a personal
history. His father, my grandfather, did it
most of his life, and those journals now provide
a well documented family history. Several years
ago I wrote my father a QuickBasic program for
DOS, so he could computerize his diary. Now I
am attempting to get him to use Windows, and
this is my Windows translation of his diary
program. It is a very simple program, and is
really as much a lesson for me as a tool for
him.
When first started, the program displays a
screen with two empty sections and two command
buttons. First, the "Add a Day" button is
clicked, and a date appears in the column on
the right. The date in the column is then
clicked and text can then be entered in the
box on the right. After entering information,
the "Change Date Displayed" is clicked, and
the text is saved in a file. This text can be
changed also. Untill the change button is
clicked, the information may be lost.
The Options menu provides the ability to print
a day's entry or copy it to the clipboard for
use in another application. It also allows
you key in a name or I.D which will appear in
the title Bar, and a place to enter a 6 charac-
ter password. That's a feature like the little
lock I remember on my sister's diary when she
was a teenager.
This program may be freely distributed!
Anyone is FREE to use this program, and I hope
someone does. If you do find it nice, or useful,
put a $1 bill (or the smallest bill in your
currency) in an envelope and send it to:
W.M. Allen
7510 East Grand Ave.

U.S.A.
I will return an acknowlegement with praise for
your good taste and great judgement.
I am also including a simple Metric converter
I wrote.
