Brings up the incredible About dialog, you curious devil you.


Configuring PMSTrack

To access the PMSTrack configuration dialog box, click on the icon in the system tray.  Since your attention span is probably impaired, I'll spare you the agony of a step-by-step procedure.  Instead, just click on the individual objects in the dialog below to find out what they do.

Notes

PMSTrack is preconfigured to an ideal 28 day female cycle.  As we all know, the words "ideal" and "female" occur in the same sentence only in romantic poetry and high school locker room conversations.  This being the case, it's your job to configure PMSTrack to the appropriate cycle length.

You can also modify the default alert messages that appear in the tool tips.  Be tasteful!

PMSTrack Help

PMSTrack is a sanity-enhancing utility for those who live at the mercy of a certain, poorly-understood physical cycle that occurs in the female persuasion of our species.

The program appears as a small, inconspicuous symbol in the system tray of the Windows 95/NT 4.0 task bar.  When configured properly (your job, not mine!) its color indicates your relative level of danger.  Holding the mouse cursor over the PMSTrack icon displays the tool tip message associated with the current danger level.

Installation
Installing PMSTrack

Since you're reading this file, I assume you have unzipped the archive file already.  I also assume that you are still rational enough to follow these simple steps.

1.	Create a directory called PMSTRACK (or whatever) on your hard drive.

2.	Copy all of the files, including this help file, into the directory you created in Step 1.

3.	Right click on the program file, PMSTRACK.EXE. and select Create Shortcut from the pop-up menu.  This will create a shortcut called, of all things, Shortcut to PmsTrack.EXE.

4.	Move or copy the shortcut created in Step 3 into the appropriate folder.  In Windows 95, the path is:

C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

In Windows NT 4.0, this is:

C:\WINNT\Profiles\["administrator", "all users", etc.]\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

5.	Restart the computer.  The PMSTrack icon will appear in the system tray.  Now it's time to configure it.


Length of Overall Cycle
If she hasn't already told you exactly how long Length of Overall Cycle usually is, you must calculate this as closely as possible.  Good luck.


OK Button
It's gonna be OK.  Really.

Actually, this just dismisses the dialog.  It doesn't terminate the PMSTrack application.


Red Alert Tool Tip
You might want to customize this one.  After all, only you know how bad things really get.


Yellow Alert Tool Tip
If your palms are starting to get sweaty, perhaps you need to modify this text to reflect the impending storm.


Zero Button
Resets the number of days into the cycle to zero.  If the "blessed event" arrives early or late, this is a quick way to reset the cycle.
