--------------------------------------------------------------------
C. NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS
If you run CALENDAR WISE on a network, you will encounter a
warning screen when attempting to edit a calendar that is currently
opened for update by another user. You may open the calendar in
view-only mode. If you open the calendar for updating, it is
possible that all changes someone else is currently making will be
lost or all changes that you make will be lost. It simply is a
matter of whomever saves their calendar last, erases the others
changes. This same warning can appear in a single user environment
(i.e. if the calendar file is open and power is lost, or some other
reason causes the calendar file to not be closed properly). Simply
choose "OVERRIDE FOR UPDATING" to circumvent the warning and reset
the file status.
D. OTHER TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. The CALENDAR WISE executable file "CW.EXE" must be executed from
the current directory. If you did not execute CW.EXE from the
current directory, CALENDAR WISE will tell you so, and not continue
to run. To run CW.EXE, change to the directory that you installed
it into(for example. "CD \CWISE"), and then execute CW.EXE. If you
are using a menu program to execute CALENDAR WISE,you must set it up
appropriately. Normally this is done by specifying the path(\CWISE)
separately from the command line (CW.EXE) in the menu program.
(i.e. When then command line is specified as C:\CWISE\CW.EXE, most
menu programs will not change to the \CWISE directory, and CW.EXE
will not run then, because you are not in the correct directory)
2. CALENDAR WISE uses a portion of unused video memory to quickly
swap menus onto the screen. Task switchers such as the one included
in DOS 5.0 or Windows 3.1 capture the video display image and then
restore it upon returning to the application. They do not however
restore the extra memory on the video card which has critical infor-
mation for CALENDAR WISE screen manipulation. Upon returning to
CALENDAR WISE in these task switcher environments, CALENDAR WISE
will automatically sense the corrupted memory, momentarily blank the
screen to refresh the lost info, and then instantaneously allow you
to continue.

II: USER INFORMATION
====================================================================
A. CALENDAR LIST
Touch any key while on the opening screen and the calendar list
will appear. 100 different calendars are available, 10 on each
page. Calendars can be selected and unselected for menu operations
such as move, delete, or merge. Multiple calendars can be marked<F2>
to view simultaneously. A demo can be run showing various sample
calendars<F10> after the calendar list appears.

Enter - View calendar(s).
F2 - Marking calendars for viewing.
This function allows you to view multiple calendars at the same
time. By pressing F2, an asterisk will appear to the left of the
selected calendar's name. Any number of calendars can be chosen for
viewing and printing simultaneously. The Enter key also chooses a
calendar to view, so remember that this calendar will also appear
if the selection box is not on a previously marked calendar. Also,
while viewing multiple calendars, no editing may be done to the
calendars chosen. "Multiple Calendars" will appear at the top of
the calendar when multiples have been chosen. This feature can be
extremely handy to determine multiple managers availability when
scheduling a meeting, or to see all employee vacations or work
schedules in different departments. It provides a quick overview
of any or all calendars.
**Note : You may automatically have CALENDAR WISE enter a specified
calendar upon execution.Simply enter CW /(calendar #) on the command
line. For example, to start in calendar 1, enter CW /1, or CW 1.
F2 - Marking calendar for setting default colors.
After customizing a calendar's colors, the colors can be
designated as the default colors. The default color scheme will
appear upon entering a new calendar. The default colors will also
appear in the preset color schemes(see DISPLAY - SCREEN COLORS
<F10>). By pressing F2, an asterisk will appear to the left of the
calendar's name. You should then press Escape to get to the menu.
SET DEFAULT COLORS is located under OPTIONS. After setting the
default colors, any changes to the colors of the calendar selected
will not affect the default color scheme.
F2, F3 - Marking calendars for merging
This function allows you to merge the contents of one or
several calendars into another calendar. By pressing F2, an
asterisk will appear to the left of the donor calendar's name. By
pressing F3, an arrow will appear to the left of the recipient
calendar's name. Any number of calendars can be selected as donors,
but only one calendar may be selected as the recipient of the merge.
You should then press Escape to get to the menu. MERGE CALENDAR is
located under OPTIONS. You will be asked to verify the calendar to
be merged. If you select "YES", you will then enter the merged
calendar. When exiting this calendar you may still choose to not
save any changes, in effect leaving the recipient calendar as it was
prior to the merge. No changes are ever made to the donor calendars.
This feature can be extremely handy if holidays are kept exclusively
in one calendar. This way, when a new calendar is started, they can
be easily merged in. (Registration Note: Please check REGISTER.DOC
as holiday calendars are included in the registration package.
F2, F3 - Marking calendar for moving
This function allows you to move all of the information
associated with a certain calendar to another location on the
calendar list. Prior to moving a calendar, the source and
destination must be chosen. By pressing F2, an asterisk will appear
to the left of the calendar to be moved. By pressing F3, an arrow
will appear to the left of the destination on the calendar list.
You should then press Escape to get to the menu. MOVE CALENDAR is
located under OPTIONS. Only one source and one destination may be
chosen. You will be asked to verify the calendar to be moved. If a
calendar exists at the destination, you will be asked if you want to
overwrite it.
F3 - Marking calendar for deleting
This function allows you to delete all of the information
associated with a certain calendar. Prior to deleting a calendar,
one calendar must be chosen. By pressing F3, an arrow will
appear to the left of the calendar to be deleted. You should then
press Escape to get to the menu. DELETE CALENDAR is located under
OPTIONS. You will be asked to verify the calendar to be deleted.
********************************************************************
NOTE - Possible File Status Error Encountered.
If you run CALENDAR WISE on a network, you can encounter an
error when attempting to delete, move, or merge a calendar that is
currently opened for update by another user. You must make sure
that the calendar is in the correct status before CALENDAR WISE will
allow this operation. You can do this by simply choosing to view
the calendar, and when the "CALENDAR IN USE" screen appears, choose
"OVERRIDE FOR UPDATE". Make sure that no one is actually updating
before you choose to override the file status. Upon exiting this
calendar, the file status will be set correctly so that you can
attempt the delete, move, or merge operation. This same error can
appear in a single user environment (i.e. if the calendar file is
open and power is lost, or some other reason causes the calendar
file to not be closed properly). Simply choose "OVERRIDE FOR
UPDATING" to circumvent the warning and reset the file status.

C. CALENDAR
The default layout for a calendar is 5 weeks by 7 days.
Appearing in the upper left corner is the registered owners name,
from the REGISTRATION FORM screen. Top center is the calendar name
from the calendar list, or 'Multiple Calendars". Top right is the
currently displayed month and year. Vertically on the right is
todays date, and across the bottom is a status line with certain key
function reminders. Always check the status line across the bottom
of the screen to see what common keystrokes are available, and which
function keys are active. The highlighted box moves around the
displayed days using the arrow and page keys. If more information
exists for a day than can be displayed, a small box appears around
the date.

Action keys...
F1 - Help
F5 - Copy
F6 - Paste
Escape - Menu
Enter - Edit day
F5 - Copy
Move the day selection box to the day containing the desired
data. By pressing F5, the item for the selected date is copied into
memory. If you want to copy the fourth item displayed into memory,
press F5 four times. The item in memory appears across the bottom of
the screen. If this item is not recurring, pasting(<F6>) will
simply place it on the new day. If this item is recurring, pasting
will use the day being pasted as the beginning day, calculate the
duration of this item and subsequently calculate the corresponding
ending day for the item pasted. This feature can be extremely handy
when scheduling infrequent items on many days. A workers name can
easily be copied to memory and then added to all of the days he is
scheduled (i.e. this Thursday, next Monday, next Wednesday). A
five day stint in Atlanta can easily be added to the first week of
May, second week of September, etc..
F6 - Paste
By pressing F6, a previously copied item(see F5 under Calendar
and Edit Day) will be inserted on this day. If the item to be
pasted is not recurring, pasting will simply place it on the new
day. If the item is recurring, pasting will use the day being
pasted as the beginning day, calculate the duration of the item to
be pasted and subsequently calculate the corresponding ending day
for the item pasted. This feature can be extremely handy when
scheduling infrequent items on many days. A workers name can easily
be added to all of the days he is scheduled (i.e. this Thursday,
next Monday, next Wednesday). A five day stint in Atlanta can
easily be added to the first week of May, second week of September,
etc..
It is important to know that pasting uses the day you currently
are on as the beginning day.Therefore if you are pasting a recurring
monthly item from the 31st of a month to the 30th of another month,
this item will appear on the 30th and not at the end of every month,
even if the 30th is the last day of the month.
F9 - Search again
A previous search operation can be repeated. If the last
search was successful, this search starts with the day following
where the day selection box is located. This means that if you see
items that will match a subsequent search, you may move the day
selection box past them, prior to searching again.If the last search
was unsuccessful, the search starts with January 1 of the next year
to search.
A status line appears across the bottom of the page indicating
the search parameters, and the status of the search.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
D. EDIT DAY
Fields...
Item
This field is what appears on the calendar. If more space is
needed, the note field is available on the right, which may be
toggled to fill the rest of the line by pressing <F8>. A second
title line can be used as well, allowing both lines to be viewed on
the calendar(for example, FAMILY on the first line, REUNION on the
second line). To delete an item, simply space out this field, or
press <F3> and it will automatically put spaces in this field.
Remember that deleting an item will delete all occurrences of the
item. Use <F7> to delete only one occurrence from a recurring item
as described later.
Frequency
The frequency field consists of two parts, the frequency type
and the frequency number. Four frequency types are available.
Yearly, Monthly, Daily and Weekly. The first letter must be in the
first position of this three position field. When the frequency is
entered, default data will appear in the other fields. The day you
are editing will appear in the beginning field and 12/31/9999 will
appear in the ending field. The frequency number pertains to how
many weeks apart, how many years apart, etc.. For every five years,
enter Y5; for semiannual, enter M6; for biweekly, enter W2; and for
every 4 days, enter D4. If the first part of this field is left
blank, the item will be treated as non-recurring. If the second part
of this field is left blank, it will be replaced with a 1. To change
a recurring item to a non-recurring item, simply make the first part
of this field blank. You do not need to blank any of the following
fields.
You may also make a frequency moveable. A moveable item is a
monthly or yearly frequency item that doesn't happen on the 15th of
every month, for instance, but rather on the first Tuesday of every
month. See <F4> below.
Beginning Date
The Beginning field denotes when the first occurrence of this
item will be. If the frequency for an item is monthly starting
March 31, all occurrences of this item will be at the end of the
month. Likewise if you want an item to fall on the end of each
month starting February 28, type 31 in the day portion of this
field. For processing speed reasons, the earliest beginning date
year allowed is 1978. On your personal calendar of birthdays, put
the birth year in the note field.
Ending Date
The Ending field denotes when the last occurrence of this
item will be. If you are entering an event that happens for the
next x frequencies (i.e. W2 for 10 times, M1 for the next 18
months), simply press any nonnumeric key while in this field. An
asterisk will appear to the left. Now enter x in the ending date
field, rather than the actual ending date. The actual ending date
will be calculated when you press <Enter>.
TIP:
1) The frequency, beginning and ending fields are only entered if
the item is recurring.
Notes
This field is provided so that more information can be
attached to an item. Everywhere this item appears,so will this note.
Only one line of information may be attached to an item. If you need
more space, fill in the item field on a second line, and attach a
second note to it. If there is nothing in the item field, the note
will simply disappear. You can expand the notes area by pressing
<F8>.
This feature can be extremely handy on your calendars of bills
due, to see how much your insurance due quarterly will be, or how
much your mortgage payment is.

moveable frequency. "Moveable" means that this item has either a
yearly or monthly frequency, but each occurrence does not happen on
the same date. Rather each occurrence happens at the same point in
the month, relative to the first week of the month. (i. e. the
first Tuesday of each month, the second Friday of every other month,
political elections held on the first Tuesday of November every four
years.) To make an non-moveable item moveable, or a moveable item
non- moveable, you must be editing on the beginning date of the
recurring item.
F5 - Copy
By pressing F5, the item inside of the edit box is copied into
memory for later use in pasting. See also F5 and F6 under Calendar.
If this item is not recurring, pasting(<F6>) will simply place it on
the new day. If this item is recurring, pasting will use the day
being pasted as the beginning day, calculate the duration of this
item and subsequently calculate the corresponding ending day for the
item pasted. This feature can be extremely handy when scheduling
infrequent items on many days. A workers name can easily be added
to all the days he is scheduled (i.e. this Thursday, next Monday,
next Wednesday). A five day stint in Atlanta can easily be added to
the first week of May, second week of September, etc..
F7 - Delete one occurrence of a recurring item
By pressing F7, an asterisk will appear to the right of the
frequency field. The occurrence of the item on the day being edited
will be deleted from occurrences of this item. Actually what
happens is two recurring items are created; one starting with the
item's beginning day and ending with the occurrence previous to the
day being edited; and one starting with the next occurrence
following the day being edited and ending with the item's ending
date. This feature can be extremely handy when softball is
scheduled for the next 14 weeks, yet no games are played on Memorial
Day and the team has a bye on the fifth week.
* Note - Pageup and Pagedown save the data prior to displaying the
next page. This may cause confusion as to what you are viewing if
you have deleted some information on a page and are now looking at
the next page. You may think that you are not seeing some data on
the new page that you expected. Press Pageup to view the data you
expected to be here. Of course you must have more than 10 items on
a day to encounter this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
D.EXPLANATION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware is not a type of software, but rather a form of
marketing and distribution. Users are given a chance to try
software before spending the sometimes outlandish fees for retail
software. If you try a shareware program and continue to use it you
are expected to register it. Individual programs differ on details
of registration and levels of support offered. It is important to
know what is supplied with your registration, whether continued
support, upgraded programs, or printed manuals will be available.
Copyright laws apply to both shareware and commercial software, and
the copyright holder retains all rights The main difference,
however, is that shareware authors specifically grant the right to
copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their software.
When looking for software, you should find software that suits your
needs and pocketbook, whether commercial or shareware. Shareware
makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy,
the ultimate money-back-guarantee. Most likely shareware can
deliver a lower priced product because there is no overhead
marketing and distributing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
E.USER AGREEMENT
If you find this program useful and find that you are using
CALENDAR WISE and continue to use CALENDAR WISE after a reasonable
trial period(30 days), you must make a registration payment to BLUE
CANNON SOFTWARE. The appropriate amount is stated on the pricing
schedule and continued use is only valid for the amount received.
If in the future you are no longer using CALENDAR WISE in the way it
was originally registered, you must register again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
F.OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT
This program is produced by a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can
help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does
not provide technical support for member' products. Please write to
the ASP Ombudsman as 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a

Welcome to the world of Shareware, state of the art software you can
actually try before you buy.
Shareware, a term coined in the early eighties, refers to the method of
distribution chosen by the software authors. With shareware, you can
receive a program and put it through its paces without having to pay for
it. If you find the program useful, and choose to keep the program, then
you pay a modest registration fee to the author.
For the last nine years, PC-SIG has been providing shareware and public
domain software to its customers and members. Since 1982 PC-SIG has
developed an unprecedented library of shareware programs, constantly
updated, consistently strong in every category. Our library of
shareware contains over 2700 titles divided into 120 logical categories.
Every program we add to the library is thoroughly reviewed and tested to
insure that each one meets the high standards of reliability and value we
insist upon and you expect. As a result, our library doesn't contain
every shareware program available, just those that really work.
PC-SIG has grown into the premier distributor of shareware and and
shareware information by producing shareware collections on CD-ROM,
publishing an encyclopedia of shareware, and by publishing Shareware
Magazine, a bi-monthly magazine distributed world-wide.
Quality and support - guaranteed. All of our programs are guaranteed
virus free. We've isolated our systems and check every program
submitted to insure that no viruses make their way to your computer or
ours.
Our support staff is available by phone as well as on our BBS to help
you with questions about installation and operation of PC-SIG's
products.
Through our network of international distributors, PC- SIG strives to
bring you the most current, exciting, technically advanced software
available as shareware.
If you can't find the software you need in PC-SIG's library, it may well
not exist.
To order the latest in Shareware, in the U.S.A: Call (800) 245-6717
Outside the U.S.A. call (408) 730-9291 for the name of the dealer in

Shareware Magazine has distinguished itself as the only internationally
distributed periodical devoted to the use and business of shareware.
Shareware Magazine provides detailed reviews of new products,
hard-hitting comparisons of shareware programs with regular retail
software, and timely information about changes in the industry and the
latest technology.
Intriguing columnists and regular features add to the excitement. The
beginners section sheds light on new user's concerns regarding
everything from choosing the right operating system to alleviating the
intimidation of using on-line systems.
Educational sections focus on how low cost shareware can aid in
classroom learning, curriculum development, and as a forum for
discussing the impact of computers and technology in schools.
Graphics Gallery renders expert advice and suggestions on how to better
work with graphics, desktop publishing, CAD systems, and the Windows
environment.
Programmers benefit from others experience in developing new programs or
polishing existing ones as well as choosing the right programming
language.
And columnists provide that subjective component, sometimes
controversial, that calls for a closer look at the way we compute and
how shareware effects what we do.
Published bimonthly, Shareware Magazine is available on a subscription
or at your local newsstand or computer bookstore. In conjunction with
PC-SIG, there are special benefits for subscribers as well as
opportunities for discount purchases from PC-SIG.
To Order, in the U.S.A.: Call 800-245-6717 and ask Customer Service.
Outside the U.S.A. call (408) 730-9291 for the name of the dealer in
your country.
