Calendar Mate 4.0 Released 01Feb91
- Calendars may be printed in English, French, German or
Spanish. Choice can be made in option 5.2
- When defining an event, a range of days may be specified
as a repeating interval (i.e. Mon-Thu or Mon, Wed, Thu)
- Changed time display on main screen - 12 noon is now 12pm
- Added 'plain' print driver for printers that cannot print
with extended ASCII characters
- When more events are scheduled than can fit on a printed
calendar, the operator must choose which events he/she
wants displayed.
- Internal scheduling changes made for greater reliability
- When adding an expiry date for an event, the program will
warn you if it's less than the start date.
- If automatic purge is on, repeating events will be deleted
if the expiry date has passed.
- User may now print a daily calendar.
- When generating the daily calendar, the default early warning
for events can be overridden.
- Filetype for events file changed from DAT to CME
(for Calendar Mate Events)
- Calendar Mate recognizes a 'DOS Environment' variable so
that it doesn't have to be run from a specific subdirectory.
- Several separate events files can be maintained.
- Events file can be specified when starting the program or
from within the program (i.e. CALENDAR WORK to
read WORK.CME file)
- Different print drivers can be specified for different
printouts. For example, with laserjet printer,
print daily calendar in portrait mode, monthly in landscape.
- With System Parms (option 5.2) you no longer have to hit
enter before hitting F5 to save.
- No extra page generated with printed calendars.
Calendar Mate V3.0 Released 03Sep90
- Mouse Support added
- Improved Context sensitive help
- Added 'Easter' as a keyword - program automatically
computes the date for Easter.
- Program computes the lunar cycles and can print when a
full moon and new moon occur in the month
- The user can opt to print events in compressed format on a
monthly calendar. This can squeeze three events instead
of two into each day.
- If user has defined more events than can fit into a box on
the monthly calendar, a warning message will be generated.
- User can now 'Clone' a record (in option 3).
- The user can now display the future occurrences of a
repeating event.
- New type of repeating events can be defined - the
'special' repeaters. These events can be automatically
rescheduled to a different day. For example a birthday
that falls on Feb. 29 but is usually rescheduled to
Feb. 28 is a special repeater.
- One (or several) occurrences of a repeating event can be
deleted or rescheduled without affecting the rest of
the event's dates.
- Epson LQ print driver added for printers that emulate this
fine printer.
- The program will allow more characters when defining
printer escape sequences.
- The user can now print a single calendar or a range of
calendars. For example the user can print September to
December and then go for a coffee while the printer
does the work.
- The program can now print a yearly calendar on one page.
- When generating several months at one time and sending
them to disk, the user can now browse each one.
- Old option 5.3 (set path for files) has been deleted.
Calendar Mate program will get all his files from the
directory that he is executed from.
- New Option 5.3 (define colours) now shows an example of
each possible colour combination.
- When printing a calendar, the program now assumes the
current month as the default where prior to this
release there was no default.
- User can abort/interrupt the calendar generation process
with a touch of the keyboard.
- When defining an event, you can now specify the end date
as a number of days from the start date of the event.
- In the prior releases sometimes the year wasn't checked on
non-repeating events. This has been fixed.
- When adding an event, the date will default to the hilighted
date on the convenience calendar. Prior to this release,
the date would default to the system date.
- More printer setup characters available in option 5.1.2
- Simplified the definition of printer characters. However,
in this case, simple is a relative term! This is still not
for the faint hearted.
