DATES Description

The DATES application was designed to be a small program that keeps track of birthdays, anniversaries, upcoming events, etc giving you advance warning so you can send out cards, leave town, etc. Main features: Initially defaults to showing all events happening within 14 days. You can set up multiple date files, each with their own day threshold; for example, one file for birthdays, another for business meetings, etc. You can establish a different threshold on an event-by-event basis if desired. This program can be included in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to provide notices every time you turn on your PC. Weekly reminders for events that happen the same weekday every week can be used. Recurring dates that happen each month on the same date (e.g. "XX/14/XX Mortgage due") can be used. You can specify dates like the "last Thursday" or the "first Monday" of a given month. You can specify dates like "the first weekday" of a given month. Month-long dates can be entered (e.g. "10/XX/XX Customer Service Month"). Dates can be in the United States format (/DATE=mm/dd/yy) or in most other formats (for example, /DATE=dd-mm-yy). The output date format does not have to match the input date format. Months can be entered as sequential months (1 for January, 2 for February, etc) or else entered as the months themselves (JAN, FEB, etc). Dates don't have to be padded (9/6/94, 09/06/94, and SEP/06/1994 are all accepted). Dates in the future can be processed or ignored as you prefer. The program will show you the weekday, age, and/or days until the event if desired. Comment lines can be displayed (e.g. "Events relating to work:"). The program can automatically pause when done or after a set number of lines if desired. Entries can be sorted before display based on their "date difference" (the number of days before the event occurs) or in their original order. Decimal codes (like CR/LF) can be embedded in the display file if desired, allowing you to change colors with in the display line or split the line into several lines for display. Pressing escape stops the program early.
