Description
-----------
Event Organizer is a Windows 95 program to help you organize your daily 
events. Using it, you can be reminded of special dates (such as birthdays
or anniversaries), maintain a list of to-dos, and/or keep track of 
appointments.  It is targeted for individual, household or small 
business use.

Although there are many calendar and organizer programs available, Event
Organizer offers features not found in other programs. It differs from many 
calendar programs in that it does not account for every minute of every
day- it simply shows what is important to you. Events are displayed in a
concise table format- listing either all or just the events that are due.

Additionally, by disabling time, its appearance is simplified even more-
it is suitable to track events for which time is irrelevant.

Some events are important, and you may want to be reminded weeks in
advance. Others may be a daily event Monday through Friday, requiring no 
advance warning. You control the "days in advance" that you want to be
reminded of an event, thereby limiting what is displayed to that which is
important to you.

Numerous options are available to:

o	display all or just due events
o       search event descriptions for specific text or word
o	control the frequency of repeating events
o	control the number of days in advance that you are to be reminded
	of a event 
o	control whether events are expired automatically or manually
o	provide logging of expired events
o	enable/disable time (if disabled, events will not have an associated
	start or stop time
o	and more....

Event Organizer provides point and click control to add, change, clone,
delete and expire events. On-line help is available to assist you when
help is needed. 

Event Organizer also provides the capability to preview and print reports
in list and at-a-glance (day, week and month) formats.

-----------------------------
Special Hardware Requirements        
-----------------------------
A functioning sound board is required if alarms are expected (the "Enable 
Time" option is active and a "Start Time" has been specified).

-------------------------
Installation: New Install
-------------------------
W A R N I N G: In order to reduce the size of this install program, 
MSVBVM50.DLL is no longer being included. Therefore, you must insure that 
MSVBVM50.DLL exists in your c:\windows\system subdirectory (c:\windows is
usually the directory that Windows is installed in), and that it is at the 
05.00.4319 (SP2) level or later (you can right click on its name using 
Explorer and view its properties).

If you find that you need MSVBVM50.DLL, you can download it from our web 
site. Download the file named Msvbvm50.zip, and unzip it to your 
c:\windows\system subdirectory (c: is drive usually the drive Windows is 
usually installed on).   

If the program is to be installed from diskettes, run the SETUP program
on the first diskette to install the program on your system. If the
program is to be installed from a single large file (i.e. Setup.exe 
downloaded from the web), execute the file itself.  

----------------------- 
Installation: Upgrading
----------------------- 
If you currently have a previous version of Event Organizer installed, you
should:

1) BACKUP YOUR EVENT SET FILES (files with BKd, EOd, EOo and Log extensions).
   This is just a precautionary step- your event set files should remain 
   undisturbed in the subdirectory where they reside.
2) Uninstall the previous version of Event Organizer by using the Add/Remove 
   Programs facility.
3) If the newer version program is to be installed from diskettes, run the 
   SETUP program on the first diskette to install the program on your system.
   If the program is to be installed from a single large file (i.e. Setup.exe 
   downloaded from the web), execute the file itself. 

------------------------
Running Event Organizer:
------------------------
Run the program by clicking on its icon in the Start|Programs menu.

If Event Organizer is invoked from a command line, the name of an event set 
may be specified as a program argument as shown below. This example could 
start the Organizer and automatically open the event set 'Birthdays'.

	c:\eventorganizer\eo.exe c:\mydata\eo\Birthdays.EOd 

The above technique can be used in shortcuts to both start Event Organizer 
and to have it open the named event set when the shortcut's icon is double 
clicked. 

----------
Uninstall:
----------
Use the Add/Remove Programs facility to uninstall the program.
         
-----------
Quick Start
-----------
For those who are anxious to begin using Event Organizer, information on
how add an event and save the event set file is available by clicking 
"Help" and then "Quick Start" on the Organizer's main window menu.

-----------------
Example Event Set
-----------------
An example event set with accompanying documentation is provided. See the 
file named 'Example.txt' for more information.

----------------------------------
Distribution/Shareware/Registering
----------------------------------
Event Organizer is a shareware program, and you are authorized to examine
a trial copy of it for up to 60 days after installation. If you decide
that you would like to continue using the program, you must register it.

Once installed the program is fully functional with the following
modified behavior/exception:

o Until registered, the splash screen persists for 6 seconds. This is 
  reduced to 3.5 seconds with overlapping windows after registration.

After the trial period has expired, the program WILL NOT FUNCTION until the  
registration process is completed.

Once the program is registered, the appearance of the trial period is 
eliminated. Also, you will be able to use the same registration 
information to unlock any future release updates of the program (not 
version updates). Registering also entitles you to free technical support. 
The contact points for support are available by clicking "Help" and then 
"About Event Organizer" on the Organizer's main window menu.

The number of days remaining in the trial period can be seen on the 
"About Window" which is produced by clicking "Help" and then "About Event 
Organizer" on the Organizer's main window menu.

User's and Shareware distributors are free to distribute unregistered copies
of Event Organizer, but are not authorized to change, edit, delete or modify
any file contained herein.

----------------------------------
What's New In V1.11
----------------------------------
- New 'Export' menu option to export an event set in the 'comma separated 
  variables' (CSV) format to better enable the exchanging of data between 
  programs/users.
- New 'Import' menu option to import a 'comma separated variables' (CSV) 
  format event set.
- New '12 Hour' and '24 Hour' time format preference settings.
- New date format preference settings (select from five formats).
- New controls to permit easier month and year manipulation on the Add, Change, 
  and Clone Event windows. 
- New controls to permit easier month and year manipulation on the Report 
  Options window.  
- Printing of all reports is enabled even if the program is unregistered.
- A tool bar icon was added for 'Print List Report'. 

-----------------------------------
What's New In V1.10
----------------------------------
- A major change in appearance through the use of the MSFlxGrid control 
  replacing the Grid control. This change has the side effect of making
  several windows slightly larger which may require you to move your saved
  window (Main and Edit/Change/Clone) positions slightly. Simply position
  the windows where desired, and save your event set.  
- New 'Find Events' function to search event descriptions for specified text.
- New tab strip control with tabs to easily select which events are to be 
  displayed. Tabs include 'Show All", 'Show Due' or 'Find Events'.
- New event frequency of 'Transposing Yearly'. This frequency is similar to
  the 'Transposing' frequency except that it pertains to yearly events- e.g.
  Thanksgiving which is the 4th Thursday in November.
- New distributed event set named USHoliday. As its name implies, it contains
  events for (some- not all) major holidays recognized in the U.S. If desired,
  it can be used as is, modified as desired or merged with other event sets.

----------------------------------
What's New In V1.09
----------------------------------
- A toolbar containing icons for frequent actions has been added.
- The program's trial period has been reduced to 60 days after which the 
  program will not function until the registration process is completed.
- Files with an extension of 'EOd' are now associated with and will be 
  opened by Event Organizer.

----------------------------------
What's New In V1.08
----------------------------------
- Event Organizer now utilizes two threads- one for the main program itself
  and a second (new) thread which is solely used to operate the alarm timer. 
  This provides substantially more independence to the alarm timer, and 
  greatly enhances the conditions under which an alarm condition can be 
  detected.

  Since the alarm timer now operates almost independently of the main 
  program, awareness of several considerations is in order:

  1) When an alarm occurs and the Alarm Window is presented, it should be
     acknowledged as soon as possible and before resuming other main program
     related activities. 
  2) When an alarm occurs and the Alarm Window is presented, checking for 
     additional alarm conditions is suspended until the outstanding alarm
     condition is acknowledged.
  3) The alarm thread is ended during normal shut down of Event Organizer, 
     but could be left running in cases where the main program is ended
     abnormally. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to produce the task window can be 
     used to determine if this condition exists, and to end the alarm's
     timer thread.    
      
----------------------------------
What's New In V1.07
----------------------------------
- New event frequencies of:

  o Biyearly (2 years)
  o End-of-Month
  o Transposing - The selected day (1-28), when expired, will be rescheduled
    for the same day-of-week/week number of the following month (e.g. if the 
    selected day is the 2nd Tuesday of the month, when expired, it will be 
    rescheduled for the 2nd Tuesday of the following month.
  o Triweekly (21 days)

- 'Copy Event Text To Clipboard' added to event menu.

- 'Silent Alarm' added to File|Preferences menu. If checked, the alarm is not
  audible

- 'Merge' added to File menu to cause allow the merging of an event file into
  an open event set. If an event is duplicated in the process, the duplicating
  event is automatically removed.

----------------------------------
What's New In V1.06
----------------------------------
The major change in this release is the addition of a month-at-a-glance 
calendar type report.

----------------------------------
What's New In V1.05
----------------------------------
The major changes in this release are changes to reports (new "day-at-a-
glance" scope plus the option to exclude empty days), and the ability to 
select a printer and forms using a "Printer Setup" dialog (via a new 
"Prompt For Printer" preference).

Also, only the 'List Report' can now be printed if the program is 
unregistered.
