Bennett (c)89±±± ±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±± Welcome to the appointment program. This program was written to enable you to enter and print lists of appointments. I found that Sidekick would not do the type of listing that I required. Sidekick is a trademark of Borland Industries. You will find that the APPT program has a bar like menu to operate the entire program. The menu choices are clearly displayed above the program logo. This was done to prevent the endless levels of menus that can exist in a program of this nature. To choose one of the menu choices just press the number associated with the choice. 1 Appointment - will pull down a box containing 2 more choices. 1 Add/Edit and appointment. This selection is self explanatory when you choose this option the program will index the database and prompt you for a date. If the date is already a part of the data the previously entered information will be displayed for you to edit. Otherwise you may enter the new information. You will be asked if you want to add any more dates. A Y will add one day to the last date entered and allow new entries. (This will be extremely handy when entering a week at a time) Also the Day of the Week will be figured and displayed for you. This way you'll know if your scheduling yourself to work on a saturday. 2 Delete appointments. You will be prompted for a date to delete and all dates prior to today will be marked for deletion. This will enable you to keep the size of your data under control. After marking the records for deletion they will be displayed for your review. If there are more than 25 days being deleted the listing will scroll off of the screen. If you don't want them deleted answer N to the next question and all will be unmarked and none deleted. | *** NOTE If you delete a day in your calendar i.e. tommorrow. You will not be able to use the ADD/EDIT function to re-enter that date. 2 Print - will pull down a box containing 2 more choices. 1 Print a list (Complete). Prints a list of all available information in the database ie. Date, day, appointment, type, time of appointment. 2 Print a list (Brief). Prints listing of the Date, day of the week and the Appointment. The amount of days requested on the report is now part of the report header. 3 Utilities - a box containing 6 choices. 1 Program version. Self Explainatory 2 Time. Will display a clock on screen. Also good to prevent screen burn in. 3 Program Configuration. Configure your program and set up data files. You must configure the program before you use it otherwise errors will plague an otherwise enjoyable program. 4 Read Program Text. This is an option to read this documentation without leaving the program. 5 Backup Data. Allows you to copy your data file to a diskette. v3.90| 6 Create Appt Types. This allows you the user to establish what types of appointments to track. You should be careful not to erase the brackets in the fields when entering or if they are not important to you, you can type over them allowing for 2 additional spaces for a total of 12. These entries will be displayed whenever Adding or Editing an appointment. 4 DOS Shell - allows you to exit to DOS and return without quiting the program. Just remember to type EXIT to return to the Appointment program. 9 Quit - Leave the program, but come again real soon. DISCLAIMER: I hope you enjoy the program. I accept no responsibility for any damage caused directly or indirectly by this program. I will continue to improve the program as needed. Any suggestions would be taken under advisement. REGISTRATION: Currently there is no established registration procedure for this program. I will, however, accept donations for the program and those who donate will be notified whenever updates or changes are made. So in essence, that is registering the program. Whenever the following for this program grows I will include a formal registration request. $15.00 is a suggested donation however any amount will be greatly appreciated. The Author: Dwayne K.
