NEW FEATURES o The checker may stay resident in memory (optional) and keep on reminding you until you quit the program or turn off your machine.

The fields can be selected and inserted from a requester. o Possibility to group only certain events, flash certain events etc. o Recursive directories, allows you to make folders of events i.e. keeping all birthday-events in a folder called Birthdays. Unlimited number of levels! o Search and replace of events. o Recall can pop up requesters on any public screen. o New powerful type of event: Input - generates input-events and hotkey-presses. o New type of event: AREXX - runs AREXX scripts directly. o Modular built.
