Alarm Date
Alarm Date Setup

The alarm date is the very first thing to appear in reminder.txt

The alarm date format: MM/DD/YY

It is important to preserve the alarm date format.  For example, if you are looking to set the alarm for a January 3, 1995 you have to enter:

Right alarm date - 01/03/95

Wrong alarm date - 1/3/95

The alarm will be triggered each time the reminder is executed on or after the alarm date.
