The Relish Family of Applications Developed specifically for OS/2, the Relish family of applications takes full advantage of its multi-threading and multi-tasking environment. The applications are designed to provide calendar, reminder, and scheduling capabilities in an intuitive, reliable, and easy-to-use way. The result is unmatched flexibility in coordinating and managing commitments. Relish is a sophisticated calendar, personal reminder, and time management package that integrates unique functional capabilities with the multi-tasking environment of OS/2. Schedule everything you need to be reminded about or want to keep track of. Make notes with pertinent who, where, what, when, and why information. Relish does all the rest, automatically. Naturally Relish can't attend meetings, but it will dial phone calls and run other OS/2 programs for you. Runs under all versions of OS/2 Presentation Manager. Relish Net combines group and resource calendaring with personal time management. It provides transparent access to the schedules of others. Relish Net was the first Presentation Manager solution for LAN-based workgroup scheduling. Distributed client-server technology supports continued use while disconnected from the LAN and automatic reconciliation upon reconnection. Runs under all versions of OS/2 Presentation Manager with IBM LAN Server or Microsoft LAN Manager. Relish 32-Bit evolves to the Workplace Shell environment where events and views of schedules can be easily manipulated as desktop objects using drag-and-drop operations. Relish 32-Bit is easy to use: Mini-icons, function keys, reference calendar, time and date window, automatic saving, and more. A host of time-saving features, extensive Workplace Shell drag-and-drop support, and context-sensitive help information foster an intuitive approach to real world scheduling. Imagine rescheduling an appointment by dragging it to a new date or time... or printing a day's schedule just by dragging the date to a Workplace Shell printer - it's that easy. Relish 32-Bit is flexible. You control your calendar. Commitments can be scheduled precisely when you want, from a second to a year, for any length of time you want - and they can overlap. No forcing commitments into arbitrary blocks of time. In fact, you don't have to be specific, and meetings and other events can overlap with each other, if you want. Relish 32-Bit recognizes most time and date formats, even with incomplete information. Take immediate action from any reminder: ok, reschedule, defer, attach a memo, change the particulars, even change the type (say from a Notation to a To Do item). No need to go back to your schedule; no extra steps to waste your time. Relish 32-Bit is convenient. There's an integrated phone book you can use to keep track of those important names and numbers. There's also a small monthly calendar that can remain on your desktop when the program is minimized, making any day's schedule always just one mouse click away. Which makes updating your schedule just one click away as well. What a time-saver! Best of all, Relish 32-Bit will always remind you of obligations that require your attention. It starts with OS/2, ensuring reminders no matter what program is running. And, it always tells you what you missed while OS/2 was shut down. Relish 32-Bit makes OS/2 really work for you. Requires OS/2 Version 2. Relish Net 32-Bit allows views of multiple people, places, and/or resources to be treated as desktop objects - always up-to-date and ready to reference. Each calendar entry is simply a note with pertinent who, what, when, where, and why information. Each note (or collection of notes) is treated as an object that can be manipulated in various ways. The user selects a note summary and uses drag-and-drop or menu options to perform actions on it. Additionally, the user may change views to see different sets of notes or the same notes in a different way. Daily, Weekly, and Monthly schedules are views as are the To Do and Overdue lists. A query-by-example strategy provides for ad hoc views. For example, one can restrict the Monthly view to include just those meetings with Fred Jones. Additionally, the user can define any number of categories, or groups - typically for different activities or tasks - and assign individual notes to the various categories. Selecting a particular group limits the current view to just that category, while all notes appear when no group has been selected. To take full advantage of OS/2's multi-threading, multi-tasking environment, Relish uses a client-server architecture even in the single user versions. The basic concept is that clients are responsible for window management and the server is responsible for data management. Thus, the server manages the Relish database as a single shared resource. Whenever a note is added or revised, the server immediately becomes aware of the change, allowing clients to become immediately aware as well. The result is that a user looking at multiple views will see any changes made in one window reflected appropriately in the others. Another client-server benefit is that the user never explicitly performs a "save" operation - notes are automatically saved when entered. Also, the server monitors all notes to be sure reminders are displayed at the appropriate times; hence, they appear even when Relish isn't open (as a window or icon) on the desktop. The ultimate benefit of using client-server architecture is that it allows Relish Net to make group scheduling just as easy as personal scheduling and to fully integrate the two into a single product. Relish Net achieves this through the fundamental notion of "location transparency," a departure from the traditional file orientation. One does not open a file of appointments, for example, manipulate parts of the file, remember to save, and finally close it. Rather, Relish stores and manages the notes in a database that the user need not know about or maintain. Thus to view another person's schedule, or place a note on it, one doesn't have to know where that information is stored. Acting on another's schedule, or multiple schedules together, is a natural extension of the actions performed on one's own schedule. With server and client components taking full advantage of OS/2 Version 2 features, Relish Net 32-Bit is a logical progression in groupware functionality. Runs under OS/2 Version 2 with IBM LAN Server, Microsoft LAN Manager, or Novell Netware. Contact Sundial Systems for more information.
