TIMEFLYS V1.5 FREEWARE by Keith Parkansky. (Personal version 2.0 upgrade available) Copyright (C) 1994 All rights reserved.

The reminders "pop up" on your screen 11, 4, and 1 day(s) before a holiday or observance, as well as on the day itself. The power of TIMEFLYS lies in the fact that it automatically calculates the dates for "fixed day" holidays (i.e. those that fall on the same *day* every year) as well as Easter (which is based on the moon's cycle). TIMEFLYS is NOT a TSR program so there are no memory issues to be concerned about, but your system date must be set correctly. This Canadian version, in addition to reminding of upcoming US holidays, also reminds of upcoming annual Canadian holidays and national observances. USING THE PROGRAM ================= This program is 21st-Century-ready ! Simply entering TIMEFLYS at the DOS prompt will produce a screen which gives a brief description of the program and the command-line parameter to have it check for events, which is: TIMEFLYS /C This will cause TIMEFLYS to Check for upcoming events. This essentially "runs" the program the way it will normally be used. NOTE: The INSTALL program will give you the option of automatically adding the TIMEFLYS/C line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, which will result in the program automatically checking for upcoming holidays each time you turn your computer on. Page 1 of 3 THE v2.0 UPGRADE - "Set it and forget it" software ================ ------------------------------- The 2.0 version of the TIMEFLYS program allows you to enter your own annual events, such as birthdays or anniversaries, or other recurring annual special occasions, or any one-time occasion or appointment that you can't afford to miss. The number of the event is also given if the user enters the first year of the event. For example, if the year is entered with a birthdate, the person's upcoming age will be displayed with the reminder. This feature is also useful for anniversaries. Easy to use menus and prompts guide you through adding, changing, and deleting events. There is also a menu selection for printing a list of entered events. ALL FOR ONLY $ 8.00 !!! There is also a Canadian version available which gives reminders of Canadian holidays in addition to the US holidays. NOTE: Custom-programmed editions for business or government, with unique "fixed day" events or custom data files, are also available.
