JAR (Just A Reminder) v2.4 
==========================

JAR is a Windows program to remind you of events you may forget.
This program was written in Visual Basic 3.0, so you need to have 
the file VBRUN300.DLL in your \windows\system directory. 

There are 6 files included in this ZIP file.

  - jar.exe: This is the Windows executable that can be run from anywhere.
  - jar.txt: The file you are reading now.
  - jar.dat: Sample data file for "jar.exe" to read
  - jar.wav: Sample WAV file that is played (optional)
  - file_id.diz: A description of the ZIP file.
  - mmsystem.dll: Move to your \windows\system directory.
	

Edit the "jar.dat" file with any ascii editor.  Here's the format:

	XX YY "<comment>"   Where XX is the month and YY is the day

Here is an example: 06 22 "Robs Birthday"

NOTE: put quotes around the <comment> so the program will read the
rest of the line (like in the example). The 1st line of the file "jar.dat"
will not be read by the program.  It is used for a comment.

You can have as many entries in this file as you like, just make sure each
one is on a new line.

Now, add the program "jar.exe" to your "startup" folder so Windows will run
it everytime you start up.  When the day matches, you will get a dialog to 
remind you.  It will display the <comment> parameter from the "jar.dat" file. 
The program will just exit if none of those cases are true.  When the dialog 
comes up, it will play the WAV file "jar.wav".  If you want to replace it, 
just copy your favorite WAV file to "jar.wav".  If you do not want it to play
a WAV file, just delete "jar.wav", and it will just beep.



The default dates it will check are: 1, 3 and 7 days ahead.

If you put a "*" in the 1st field in the <comment> line it will check
the days: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 days ahead. 

For example: 06 22 "*Robs Birthday"


If you put a "+" in the 1st field in the <comment> line it will check
the days: 3, 7, 10, 15, 30 days ahead. 

For example: 06 22 "+Robs Birthday"

 incurred by the use of JAR.


Release Info
============
 
 - The major difference between v1.0 and v2.0 is the fact that this one takes
   into account leap year, and v2.0 works if your day month is in the
   beginning of the month. 
 - Version 2.1 fixed a minor bug in the total number of days in the year
   when it was leap year.  
 - Version 2.2 - never really released.  
 - Version 2.3 added playing WAV file, and (* and +) date ranges.  Also added
   "setup" program to install.   
 - Version 2.4 - Added option so if "jar.wav" did not exist to beep.
