DESCRIPTION

  A program to keep track of birthdays, anniversaries and other important
  events. It is an easy-to-use, intuition-based utility for the absent-
  minded and it is considered to be the best reminder utility, program
  launcher and alarm clock fascility available for the Amiga platform.

FEATURES

  o be reminded with requesters, alerts or practically anything that can be
    displayed on an Amiga-monitor
  o automatically start programs (CLI/WB/AREXX/BATCH) depending on the date,
    time or weekday
  o create input events at certain days/time/weekday
  o keep track of the remaining days/time to important events
  o keep track of the days/time since important events happened
  o be reminded every # day (e.g. every 14th day)
  o be reminded # days before or after the event
  o be reminded once a day, every time you boot, before or after a certain
    date, before or after a certain hour or minute
  o be reminded about events until you acknowledge them
  o be reminded on certain weekdays
  o display unlimited lines of text in the same requester or alert
  o group different events and make them appear simultaneously
  o keep a simple database of the birthdays of family and friends
  o let your Amiga keep track of how old people are by insterting the date
    of birth in the middle of the string where you want to display the age
    (I.e. the text "Adam is {years:08/05/1970} years old today" may be
    displayed as "Adam is 24 years old today".)
  o make advanced events which are displayed for example after 21:00 every
    3rd day the first 7 days of every 2nd month the next 4 years
  o combine all of the attributes mentioned above in the same event
  o enter these events in an easy-to-use, totally font adaptable multi-
    window environment and without the need of programming-knowledge, just
    by entering the desired text and pressing a few buttons
  o localized for most languages supported by Commodore as well as some
    unsupported ones
  o well documented - over 100K of documentation!

NEW FEATURES

  o The checker may stay resident in memory (optional) and keep on
    reminding you until you quit the program or turn off your machine.
    Will check the events every minute (idle time may be overridden).).
  o The checker is a commodity, and may be controlled via the Commodore's
    Commodities Exchange program.
  o Unlimited number of dates can be attached to the same event.
  o You can combine weekdays and date, allowing you to make events which
    will be shown i.e. the third Sunday in a month etc.
  o Major update of the calculation fields: allowing you to include both
    the current date, current time, calculation of days, calculation of
    years, current weekday and such in the SAME event! The fields can be
    selected and inserted from a requester.
  o Possibility to group only certain events, flash certain events etc.
  o Recursive directories, allows you to make folders of events i.e.
    keeping all birthday-events in a folder called Birthdays. Unlimited
    number of levels!
  o Search and replace of events.
  o Recall can pop up requesters on any public screen.
  o New powerful type of event: Input - generates input-events and
    hotkey-presses.
