DESCRIPTION
--------------

Keeping track of your important dates and events has never been easier!

This is a desktop utility that runs under Microsoft(R) Windows(R)
and adds a useful feature to the Windows 95/98/NT taskbar clock.
It allows a user to set multiple events. 
Each event can be set to go off at various intervals: 
Daily:		at the daily interval specified;
Weekly:		on the specified days at the selected week interval;
Monthly:	on a specified day of the month, at a specified 
		monthly interval;
	or	on a particular week, on a specific day of the week, 
		at a specified monthly interval; for example, 
		the third Tuesday, every three months;
Yearly:		on a specified day of a specified month;
	or	on a particular week, on a specific day of the week, 
		of the specified month; for example, 
		the first Monday in May;

You can also specify the amount of time prior to the event to display 
the reminder and set a default "snooze" interval.
You can very simply import your old information into xReminder.
Unlike many personal organizer programs, it is really small,
simple to use and will work unobtrusively in the background.

Although the evaluation version of this product is fully-functional,
you may only create a limited number of reminders with it.

You may create an unlimited number of reminders with the registered 
version.

usually, we release the updates about once a month.

instructions. You'll need to select the target directory.

SETUP will automatically:
- create an icon for xReminder in your Start-Up folder
- install the required files to a directory of your choice 
( C:\Program Files\xUtils Software\xReminder by default )

xReminder is self-contained and requires no DLL's. It therefore
makes minimal changes to your system.
