Short: Reminds you of important dates during startup! Author: Andy@wwhse.demon.co.uk Uploader: petekirby@aworld.demon.co.uk (Peter Kirby) Type: util/misc Introduction: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the fourth visit in less than a month to the local newsagents to buy a birthday card for someone the day after their birthday, I decided that it was about time that I got my diary into order and thereby avoid those uncomfortable 'what do you mean you haven't got my card yet?!!' 'phone calls. However, by the time I had got round to doing anything about it, I had missed another two birthdays and had made another couple of hurried visits to Smith's and the local post-box. As a result of my continual embarrassment, I decided to write a program which would make sure that I never missed another birthday again and after a while I sat down and programmed REMDATE. As I progressed I decided that it might as well remind me of any anniversaries and special dates (just in case I forgot Christmas again) and any important appointments that I might get. The first version did the job of reminding me of events in time, but that was about all. After a while of using REMDATE v1.0, I decided to rewrite it and add all the features that I thought would be useful to have on a diary type program. I hope that you find it as useful as I do - obviously it requires you to enter your data before it can work properly, but once it's in you can leave the worrying to REMDATE v2.2! ...... ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1092 758 30.5% 25-Aug-94 23:54:32 +Date 115144 60009 47.8% 25-Aug-94 23:56:22 +installer 11032 6652 39.7% 10-Sep-95 12:03:04 +More 7560 7361 2.6% 18-Aug-93 20:09:54 +PPmore 1676 1252 25.2% 08-Sep-94 10:34:36 +explode.library 633 377 40.4% 28-Jul-95 20:47:58 +James Bond Movies 1599 803 49.7% 01-Jan-96 20:03:40 +REMDATE HELP 2260 1299 42.5% 28-Jul-95 20:45:58 +Tourist & Travel Centres 459 210 54.2% 28-Jul-95 20:45:58 +Tourist & Travel Centres.info 75 70 6.6% 15-Jul-95 09:06:14 .info 5861 2378 59.4% 07-Jan-96 19:01:02 Development 1286 253 80.3% 18-Jan-96 10:59:44 Development.info 388 232 40.2% 02-Jan-96 13:21:54 Disk.info 4512 769 82.9% 01-Jan-96 19:45:54 HardDisk_Install 4680 999 78.6% 18-Jan-96 10:59:42 HardDisk_Install.info 1465 407 72.2% 18-Jan-96 10:56:24 HD_Install_WB1.3 450 211 53.1% 18-Jan-96 10:59:50 HD_Install_WB1.3.info 628 258 58.9% 18-Jan-96 10:59:50 IMPORT.info 1695 430 74.6% 01-Jan-96 19:44:24 ReadMeFirst 1958 551 71.8% 18-Jan-96 10:59:46 ReadMeFirst.info 459 211 54.0% 28-Jul-95 20:48:02 +James Bond Movies.info 302236 126580 58.1% 02-Feb-96 16:24:24 REMDATE 35937 13038 63.7% 07-Jan-96 19:18:30 REMDATE.doc 1958 552 71.8% 18-Jan-96 10:59:46 REMDATE.doc.info 9936 5999 39.6% 14-Oct-95 14:32:32 REMDATE.hst1 12032 7244 39.7% 14-Oct-95 14:32:52 REMDATE.hst10 10257 6138 40.1% 14-Oct-95 14:33:04 REMDATE.hst11 10787 6409 40.5% 14-Oct-95 14:33:16 REMDATE.hst12 9578 5796 39.4% 14-Oct-95 14:33:30 REMDATE.hst2 10661 6313 40.7% 14-Oct-95 14:33:44 REMDATE.hst3 10872 6498 40.2% 14-Oct-95 14:33:56 REMDATE.hst4 12362 7357 40.4% 14-Oct-95 14:34:12 REMDATE.hst5 11170 6621 40.7% 14-Oct-95 14:34:24 REMDATE.hst6 11667 7011 39.9% 14-Oct-95 14:34:40 REMDATE.hst7 11890 7071 40.5% 14-Oct-95 14:34:54 REMDATE.hst8 11341 6795 40.0% 14-Oct-95 14:35:08 REMDATE.hst9 5114 872 82.9% 18-Jan-96 10:59:38 REMDATE.info 1161 699 39.7% 27-Jan-96 14:28:14 REMDATE.mess 4120 2506 39.1% 14-Oct-95 14:36:42 REMDATE.phr 30626 5680 81.4% 01-Jan-96 17:19:32 REMDATE.prt.dm 2326 911 60.8% 24-Oct-95 09:39:00 REMDATE.sup 69584 27377 60.6% 30-Jan-96 16:16:28 REMDATE_WB 1634 480 70.6% 18-Jan-96 10:59:40 REMDATE_WB.info 628 259 58.7% 18-Jan-96 10:59:48 TOPICS.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 752789 343696 54.3% 27-Feb-96 12:06:12 44 files
