Information about “CALENDAR MATE”
CALENDAR MATE can print a monthly calendar with your scheduled events.
The strength of this program is its ability to interpret repeating
events. Repeating cycles such as yearly, weekly, fortnightly are easily
handled. More complicated cycles such as "3rd Sunday of the month,"
"2nd workday in September" can also be scheduled.
Flexible date formats allow users to enter dates in a variety of
comfortable formats. There is context-sensitive help available from
anywhere in the program and a help panel will be displayed.
The program can be customized by the user. All the window colors can
be changed and saved. There are a number of system parameters that can
be changed by the user. Things like whether or not to include the
Julian date on a printed calendar, whether or not to automatically
delete expired events, how often to save the data file, and many others
are available to be tailored by the user.

- Added 'Easter' as a keyword - program automatically
computes the date for Easter.
- Program computes the lunar cycles and can print when a
full moon and new moon occur in the month
- The user can opt to print events in compressed format on a
monthly calendar. This can squeeze three events instead
of two into each day.
- If user has defined more events than can fit into a box on
the monthly calendar, a warning message will be generated.
- User can now 'Clone' a record (in option 3).
- The user can now display the future occurrences of a
repeating event.
- New type of repeating events can be defined - the
'special' repeaters. These events can be automatically
rescheduled to a different day. For example a birthday
that falls on Feb. 29 but is usually rescheduled to
Feb. 28 is a special repeater.
- One (or several) occurrences of a repeating event can be
deleted or rescheduled without affecting the rest of
the event's dates.
- Epson LQ print driver added for printers that emulate this
fine printer.
- The program will allow more characters when defining
printer escape sequences.
- The user can now print a single calendar or a range of
calendars. For example the user can print September to
December and then go for a coffee while the printer
does the work.
- The program can now print a yearly calendar on one page.
- When generating several months at one time and sending
them to disk, the user can now browse each one.
- Old option 5.3 (set path for files) has been deleted.
Calendar Mate program will get all his files from the
directory that he is executed from.
- New Option 5.3 (define colours) now shows an example of
each possible colour combination.
- When printing a calendar, the program now assumes the
current month as the default where prior to this
release there was no default.
- User can abort/interrupt the calendar generation process
with a touch of the keyboard.
- When defining an event, you can now specify the end date
as a number of days from the start date of the event.
- In the prior releases sometimes the year wasn't checked on
non-repeating events. This has been fixed.
- When adding an event, the date will default to the hilighted
date on the convenience calendar. Prior to this release,
the date would default to the system date.
- More printer setup characters available in option 5.1.2
- Simplified the definition of printer characters. However,
in this case, simple is a relative term! This is still not
for the faint hearted.

This file is included for the benefit of Shareware libraries and Bulletin
Board Services. It may be removed from the Calendar Mate distribution disk.
Calendar Mate version 3.0 is a full featured program designed to create
personalized calendars. The user defines events to the program and it will
display them on the calendars when printed. There are two types of
calendars that can be printed - a monthly block calendar and a one page
yearly calendar. As well, there is an online daily appointment scheduler.
The distinguishing features of Calendar Mate are its ability to handle
repeating events and its wide assortment of configuration options. Defining
events to the system is a simple task. Much effort has been invested in
making the program intuitive and user friendly. There is context sensitive
help available anywhere in the program.
As well as the simplicity and ease of use built into the program there are
several powerful features including...
- Simple installation procedure.
- Automatic computation of Easter and lunar cycles.
- Mouse support.
- Julian dates can optionally be included on monthly calendars.
- Events that repeat on a regular basis can have a single (or several)
occurrences rescheduled without affecting the other occurrences of the event.
- Future dates for a repeating event can be displayed.
