The 'History' function has been combined with the 'Year' function on the second bank of buttons. - Import Digita's Organiser files. If you have been using Digita's Organiser program and have created a Data file, you can place it in 'IMPORT' directory (default DH0:IMPORT) and then select it from the 'IMPORT' option. The entries, including diary entries, addresses and 'Things to Do' will all be added to your REMDATE file, thus saving having to re-enter all the entries. - Message facility added at startup. - 'Topics' option added. This option allows you to view data files which are also compatible with Digita's Organiser. Simply move the required Topic file to the 'Topics' drawer (default DH0:Topics) and select the option. Clicking on the title on the Index page will move you straight to the correct page. Data files are available on the Public Domain. You can also create your own with a Word Processor or Text Editor. (See main docs for details). - Updating Print routines to print off 'Topics' in A4 or Organiser sizes. - 'Regular Entries' added. This option replaces 'Special Days' and allows greater flexibility. You can now select entries such as 'every three weeks' or 'once a month on the 3rd Tuesday'. Dates already entered as 'Special Days' just become Regular Entries 'once a year'. (See main document file) - Time sorting of entries. If a time is added anywhere in a Diary entry, REMDATE will sort them into Time order. The only restrction is the syntax for the time which MUST be 12 hour clock, with the AM or PM following straight after the time without a space. i.e. 7AM, 7.30pm and 3.15PM are all acceptable. 7.25 am or 14.25 are not. Time ranges can be included - the first time found will be the start time and the second one will be the end time. e.g. 'Lunch from 12pm to 2pm' and '9.25am Shopping until 12pm' - REMDATE now checks to see if two entries clash with respect to time and brings it to your attention once the entry is added. - Unrestricted entry length. Entries are now displayed with a bullet point for each new entry and will 'wrap-around' if they are longer than will fit on one line. - Scrollable 'Entries for Today'. If there are more than 6 lines of entries for one day, '(More)' will appear at the top of the box and you can scroll through the list using 'Alt' & 'Left Amiga' with the up and down cursor keys. - 'Point and Click' Editing. Simply place the mouse on the entry you wish to edit and press the Left Mouse button. - 'Point and Click' Addresses. If a name is displayed as a Birthday Entry, then point the mouse at it pressing the right and left mouse buttons together. The Address Book will be opened and the correct address displayed, if one has been entered. - 'Set Date and Time' option. By clicking on the date at the top of the screen, you can alter the current date and time. If you do not have a battery backed up clock, the requester will pop up automatically when you run REMDATE. - Print Option from Address Book has been added by popular request. It allows you to either print directly on to an envelope by using 'offsets' or print onto a sheet of paper with telephone numbers included. It also allows 'auto-punctuation'. - Bug fixes include a problem which prevented you from adding entries in the first week or two of January towards the end of December, the disappearance of the first of the month from the calendar as well as quite a few that I've forgotten. ============================================================================= Thanks to everyone who has written and/or 'phoned with bug reports and suggestions.
