Short: The BEST reminder-utility for the Amiga! Type: os20/util Author: Ketil Hunn Uploader: ketil@brosme.dhmolde.no, hunn@dhmolde.no Version : V2.1 Requirements: NEEDS MUIV1.4 TITLE Recall VERSION 2.1 AUTHOR Ketil Hunn E-Mail: ketil@brosme.dhmolde.no hunn@dhmolde.no DESCRIPTION Do you keep forgetting about birthdays, anniversaries and other important events? Well, there are plenty of public domain products on the market that will prevent that from happening. But, do you also want to - keep track of the remaining days to important events? - keep track of the days since important events happened? - automatically start programs depending on the date and time? - be reminded every # day (e.g. every 14th day)? - be reminded # days before or after the event - be reminded once a day, every time you reboot, before or after a certain date, before or after a certain hour or minute? - be reminded about events until you acknowledge them? - be reminded with requesters, alerts or practically anything that can be displayed on an Amiga-monitor? - display unlimited lines of text in the same requester/alert (only limited by the screen's resolution and memory) - group different events in the same requester or alert? - keep a simple database of the birthdays of family and friends? - 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? (E.g. the text "Adam is {080570} years today" will be displayed as "Adam is 23 years today".) - 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? - combine all of the attributes mentioned above in the same event? - enter these events in an easy-to-use environment and without the need of programming-knowledge, just by entering the desired text and pressing a few buttons? Well, then you will find this program extremely useful, because Recall will do exactly that for you! It is an easy-to-use, intuition-based utility for the absent-minded! It is simply the BEST reminder-utility available for the Amiga. NEW FEATURES These are the changes since V2.0: Recall: NEW All binaries and the installation-script is localized. English, german and norwegian catalogs are included. NEW Recall speeded up 30%!!! NEW All binaries has reduced in size! Rewritten to use tiny ROM-routines! NEW Postponing events! If you put off an event, it will keep nagging you until you acknowledge it! NEW Updating event's attributes is now speeded up in Preferences. NEW Safer IFF-saving. NEW Settings menu-item: Confirm executables? NEW Recall requesters now state the current date in their titles. Uses the selected dateformat. NEW Recall uses less memory than before! NEW Rearranged the GUI a little: The date and time are separated from the text-group, the getfile-gadget now uses the button-background set in MUIprefs. NEW The day-of-the-month gadgets are now of BOOL type (like Time Preferences). NEW The calendar can now be controlled from the keyboard. FIX Events with x days BEFORE or AFTER were not displayed. FIX Acknowledging alerts did not work, unless 'Acknowledge events?' was NOT checked. This bug did not appear when the binaries was not optimized by the compiler... Strange... FIX The GUI of the installation-script was messy if you did not use the Topaz.font FIX The GetFile-gadget did not work! FIX GetFile did not allocate it's memory properly. FIX The GetFile-gadget was not documented. FIX Purging did not remove all the events that it should. FIX Corrected several bugs regarding ghosted buttons and the update of attributes. FIX One node in the documentation of Recall was not linked properly. FIX Recall and Recall Preferences did not deallocate all used memory when terminating. FIX Recall crashed if Use ReqTools? was checked but not available! FIX Events set to whenever or anytime did not show if BEFORE or AFTER was selected. FIX The stringgadgets do no longer get activated when selecting a new event/text from the listviews, making it easier to use the keyboard short-cuts. FIX Recall Preferences do no longer ask for a file to import or export when SYS:Tools/ReConverter is not available... FIX Changed the name of some items. 'Whenever' and 'Anytime' changed to 'Every day' and 'All day', respectively. 'Once a day' has been changed to 'Daily'. FIX Enforcer Hit when accidentally loading certain non Recall IFF-files. FIX All output to shell from Recall will now be routed to the same shell- window! Converter: FIX The default source is now "ENVARC:in file" and default destination is "ENVARC:out file", making it easier to access the ENVARC: drawer. FIX Import from ASCII interpreted the date and time values wrong. FIX Enforcer Hit when accidentally loading certain non Recall IFF-files (such as ReqTools.prefs). FIX It was not possible to save the converted file under the default name. REQUIREMENTS OS 2.04 or higher. The binaries will take advantage of Kickstart 3.0 and 68020+ processors if found. OS 2.1 or higher for localization. MUI V1.4 or higher. Harddisk is recommended for unpacking the complete distribution. HOST NAMES Aminet.
