Thank you for trying YEARS Version 1.2. We believe it is one of the easiest-to-use and most visually appealing calendar/reminder programs available. YEARS is free-form. You can quickly move around the years between the 18th and 22nd centuries--attaching notes to any date. These notes can be a single word or 5,000 words long; it's up to you. A note can be a single event (such as the day you plan to visit your sister) or can be designated "every year" (such as your brother's birthday). If you select "every year" the note will automatically appear annually on that date. YEARS will light up any date on the calendar which has a note attached to it. However, you have the option of whether the first few words of the note are also visible on the calendar. In addition, you can load text into the Notepad from disk files (or save the contents of the Notepad to disk files). All standard holidays are automatically displayed and there is a Year View as well as a Month View. There are also two help screens describing how to maneuver via keyboard or mouse. Using a mouse is optional. Both notes and month views can be printed. INSTALLING YEARS Put YEARS.EXE into any directory, then type YEARS to start it running. If you want YEARS to be available from anywhere on your disk drive, put it into a directory which is in your "PATH" as defined in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. When you add notes, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. to the YEARS calendar--YEARS creates a file of your personal notes called CAL.DAT. This file is put into the same directory where you have located YEARS. UNINSTALLING YEARS If you decide not to use YEARS, just delete YEARS.EXE and CAL.DAT from your disk drive. YEARS makes no changes to anything on your disk. REGISTRATION If you like YEARS, please register it. When you start YEARS, a registration reminder message will appear. Registering eliminates these reminders, and also puts you on our mailing list for YEARS updates and our other programs. For example, there is a bill in Congress (and it might pass) which proposes to extend daylight savings two weeks eariler in the Spring and one week later into the Fall. Registration will get you this adjustment to YEARS should it be necessary. To register, send $16 to: Richard Mansfield 2703 E. Bessemer Ave. Greensboro, NC 27405 We will send your registration by return mail.
