110597 Reminder Version: 1.1, October 1989 Author: Bill Brandt and Jeff Lightle, The Defiance College, Defiance, OH Submitted by: Bill Brandt, The Defiance College, Defiance, OH Operating System: RSTS/E V9.6 Source Language: BASIC-PLUS-2 Memory Required: 15 KW Software Required: BASIC-PLUS-2 compiler if user wants to recompile Keywords: Calendars, Scheduling Abstract: Reminder is a Desk Top Calendar package that combines a BASIC-PLUS-2 rewrite of Mitch Wyle's Desk Top Calendar program with a login tickler program and an on line tickler (Reminder) program. The login tickler program is invoked from the user's login.com file and displays the day's scheduled appointments as the user logs in. The Reminder program is designed to wake up every fifteen minutes and inform the users of scheduled appointments that are approaching within a two hour interval. The Reminder program runs as a detached job and allows selective user access to the tickling process. Some tailoring of the Desk Top Calendar program has been done to improve ease of use. However, many of the original features have been included such as day, week, month, year at-a-glance, free time display, evening appointments and others. Some fixes were made to ensure a consistent date and time format. The programs were designed to work with VT100 terminals, but can easily be modified for other types of terminals. All the programs are written in BASIC-PLUS-2, but could be modified for BASIC-PLUS. Task images are supplied on tape for those without a BASIC-PLUS-2 compiler. Notes: Some of the original features of Mitch Wyle's Desk Top Calendar program were not included to simplify the use of the system. Changes and Improvements: Addition of an on-line Reminder (tickler) program and a login tickler program and fixes to the BASIC-PLUS-2 rewrite.
