EagleTech -- Calendar (C) Copyright EagleTech, 1990. All Rights Reserved. Introduction The EagleTech Calendar program is a user-friendly interface to the old standard desktop blotter calendar. There are no complicated, rigid methods to learn. A date may have a memo in word processor-like format, not pigeon-holed into a specific time slot. The calendar has a seven color-coded legend to categorize specific events on any date. For a view of the big picture, the easy to use full screen user interface provides a quick look at the month, with the color coded event and memo indicators. The calendar offers an easy to use alternative to the cumbersome methods employed by other calendar/schedulers. Scope of this document This document is supplied with the unregistered version of EagleTech Calendar. The registered version has detailed explanations of each menu option and hotkey. In the unregistered version a limited number of options are available. The main calendar function is still a powerful way to manage and maintain events without the need to learn a complicated scheduling calendar. The Calendar Once Calendar is run, the current date's month will be displayed on the screen with the current day highlighted. The current day, is of course, determined by your computer's system clock. If your clock is wrong, the calendar will be wrong. The calendar will allow dates from Jan 1, 1980 to Dec 31, 1999, not that there is any use in recording events of a past time. Adding a Memo to a Day Using the arrow keys, move the highlighter to the day of the month you wish to add a memo to. Once highlighted, press the ENTER key. A window will be displayed to allow you to enter a text message. You may add a color key symbol to any of the fifteen lines permitted in the memo. The colors key symbol is added by pressing the function key as defined to the left of the title. This will add a small box on the left of the text line in the memo pad. The color key function keys only work while in the memo pad, and work as a toggle for that color. You may use any one of the seven color keys on each of the fifteen memo lines. These color key boxes will appear on the full screen calendar inside the date box when you return to the calendar. To return to the calendar, press ESC and a menu will appear at the bottom of the memo pad. Select R or ESC again to save the memo and return to the calendar. Select D to delete the contents of the pad, including the color key boxes, and return to the calendar. Or, you may select E to continue editing the memo. If you have entered a memo, the calendar will show a check mark next to the date number, as well as, any color keys boxes you may have assigned. If you assigned the same color for more than one line of text, only one box of that colors will appear in the date box. However, if you selected more than one color, all of the different colors will appear in the date box. Help At any time while using the calendar, you may press F1 to display the help screens. Also, you may select help by pressing the H key. The same help screens will be displayed, in either case. The help screens will display a general overview explanation, and a list of special keys and their functions. Registration This product is a shareware program. You should register all of your shareware programs, especially this one. More often than not, by not registering your shareware programs, you are missing out on a lot of other available features, as you would be if you didn't register this program. Please take time to fill in the registration form by pressing R and filling in your name, company, if any, address, telephone number, disk preference, and any comments you would like to offer. The registration form will be printed to your disk, not your printer. You may print it at your leisure, or if you don't have a printer, transcribe the contents of the form to anything you can write on. We're not too choosy. All we ask is constructive comments, and of course your $25.00. One more thing about the registration: Once you have registered your copy and have received your personalized full version, you are encouraged to refer the program to other people. You are encouraged so much so, that if you mail in the other person's registration form and money, plus a self addressed stamped envelope, EagleTech will mail back $5.00 to you as a referral fee. That's right. You must be on our records as a registered owner, and your self addressed stamped envelope must accompany the new user's registration form and money. Once we validate the form and assure the money is good (if check), and of course assure you are a registered owner, you get the bucks. Just think, after only 5 referrals, you, basically, get yours free! A note about the other options As a user of the unregistered version of EagleTech's Calendar, you will not be able to use any of the wonderful special features it has to offer. They still appear on the screen to entice you. Can't you just feel the need to have the power of the full version. The special features include: ž Phone List - A 40 entry phone list is available while in the calendar. There is no rigid naming standard to follow, just a place for names, and numbers. The number includes area code, but it is not necessary to use it. It can't be any easier to use. And do we really need a complex phone book that takes longer to figure out than if would be to look the number up in the book. ž Edit Color Titles - As described above, you may add a color key symbol to any memo line. In the registered version, you are permitted to change the legend, or what the colors refer to. In other words, you could change the yellow color to mean BOWLING NIGHT instead of Birthday. ž Annual Date - This feature would allow you to set up 40 different annual events, such as Birthdays, Anniversaries, Holidays, etc. This would remove the need to go to every month where there is a birthday and create a memo for that day. The annual date would appear every year on the same date. When the date highlighter highlights a date with an annual date scheduled, the event text will appear on the bottom of the screen. ž Monthly Date - This feature would allow you to set up 40 different monthly events, such as bills due, pay days, mortgage payment, rent payments, car payment, etc. This would remove the need to go to every month where there is a payday or bill and create a memo for that day. The monthly date would appear every month on the same date. When the date highlighter highlights a date with a monthly date scheduled, the event text will appear on the bottom of the screen. ž Jump to Date - This feature would allow you to quickly jump to a specific date, or back to the current date. This would greatly speed up any searching time flipping through months. ž Configure Colors - In the registered version you are permitted to change the background and foreground colors for most items on the screen, such as, the main background, calendar borders, date number, today's date, highlighter, month name, and pop up window colors. A note about files The calendar program searches the current directory for the calendar month data files. The data files are names with the month dash year dot CAL naming convention. These calendar data files are not required to reside in the same directory as the calendar executable file. My suggestion would be to set up a directory just for the calendar. Create a batch file to change directories to the calendar directory so all files are in the same directory. This would eliminate any possible loss of calendar information due to files being misplaced.
