(@title Calendar Pal - Data Base@)(@indent 3@)
There are two files associated with Calendar Pal. The first is a configuration
file, typically named (@color 3@)"Cal-Pal.cfg"(@color 1@). It contains the
rev of Calendar Pal which created it and the name of the notes data file. When
Calendar Pal comes up, it first looks for a .cfg file in the current directory, then
the S: directory. If none is found, you will be asked to choose one using
an ARP file requestor. The first time you run Calendar Pal there will not be a
.cfg file, (@color 3@)so hit the CANCEL gadget on the requestor(@color 1@). The
first time you save a set of notes, a .cgf file will be created. At that time, you can
accept the default naming convention or choose a name to suit you.
The second type of file is the notes data base, usually named (@color 3@)"Cal-Pal.dbf"(@color 1@).
When you save the notes data the first time, you may choose the name for this file
and which directory it will be stored in. The (@ref help:menus@)menus(@unref@)
also allow for a (@color 3@)"Save As"(@color 1@) convention. By storing
different .cfg files you may have multiple versions of notes data bases.
The .dbf files are simple text and can be edited. However, if you choose to
edit one of these files, (@color 3@)proceed with caution!(@color 1@)
