INTRODUCTION
APPOINTMENT CALENDAR is just that, an appointment calendar, for any
month, day, and year. It features unlimited database techniques. You must
have DOS 2.0 or higher, 512K RAM or more, any monitor, and a printer and
hard disk are optional.
Appointment Calendar will keep your appointments for you in its database
for any half hour increment from 12:00AM to 11:30PM (this is good for night
owls). A daily REMARK (comments) box allows additional remarks for the
days appointments. Help is available by pressing <F1>. A copy of your
appointments for the day can be sent to the printer.
Appointment Calendar uses state of the art database techniques that allow
unlimited records (days) and fast Btree access to you appointments no
matter how large the database. This program was meant for the beginner to
advanced power user who uses the computer as a tool. This program is an
excellent addition to software used in an office or home.
You may try this program out and if you like it, please register. With
registration and your comments for suggestions, I will regularly send you
upgrade notices and bug fixes (God forbid!). Registration form is in file
REGISTER.FRM. Other products that I market are in file PRODUCTS.DOC.

GETTING STARTED
Your program diskette should contain at least the following 3 files:
APPOINTS.EXE
APPOINTS.HLP
APPOINTS.DOC
If these files are not on your distribution diskette this program will not
operate correctly. Contact your distributor from whom you purchased the
program.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. install the distribution diskette in floppy drive a and close the door
2. copy all files to the subdirectory you want or onto another floppy disk
(eg. COPY A:*.* C:\APPOINTS)

(who ever does?)
4. put in your CONFIG.SYS file (in your root directory) the following
commands:

That's all there is to it! The rest of this manual is optional reference

Easy to read screens and reports will make APPOINTMENT CALENDAR an asset
to your busy day. You enter your appointments as you make them from the
schedule menu. You set the time and a quick comment. Then you can look
at a summary of your appointments for an entire month, or a detailed
breakdown for the day. The monthly calendar quickly tells you how many
appointments you have in the morning, and how many in the afternoon and
evening. Great for seeing how your week or month is shaping up at a
glance. The daily report can be printed out for handy daily schedule.
APPOINTMENT CALENDAR will keep your appointments for you on half hour
increments from 12:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. (good for night owls). A daily
REMARK (comments) box allows additional remarks for the days
appointments and on-line help is always available.
