Calendar Marker Version 3.00, Apr 4th, 1996 A utility for the Newton Dates Application ========================================== NOTE!!! ==> $10 Shareware <== NOTE!! New In Version 3.00: *** The Newton 2.0 Specific version *** * Install internally or on card * Single small version includes preferences (via [i] button in Dates) * Faster, smaller, better with Newton 2.0 - works in rotated mode as well. Preferences can only be changed in non-rotated orientation. Do you ever wish you could tell when you have meetings and anniversaries (day notes), just by glancing at the small calendar displayed in the upper right corner of the Dates display? You know, just like those $50 pocket organizers that put boxes around anniversary dates, and little marks at the top or bottom of a day with a meeting in the morning or afternoon? Calendar Marker does just that! Every time you open the Dates application, it swiftly checks for any and all day notes and meetings in the current month. It updates the display when you change (move, delete) or make a new appointment. It then draws a box around (or a line under ) any day with a day note, and places a small line to the left of any day with a meeting. A line is drawn near the top of a day with one or more morning meetings, while a line is drawn near the bottom for one or more afternoon meetings. You can now see just how over-committed you are in a month! What about Week numbers? Calendar Marker displays those to the left of the month. It counts the first week in a year with more than 3 days as week 1. If the first week in a year has 3 or fewer days in it, it is numbered the same a the last week of the previous year. If the last week in a year has fewer than 4 days in it, it is numbered 1. Those are the rules. ========================================== About the package: Calendar Marker (CalMkrSm.pkg) is an AutoPart, so it installs into the Extensions folder of your Extras drawer. The package is 17kb installed, and uses almost no Heap at all (meaning you won't get "out of memory" messages because of it!). It's also very inexpensive! You access Calendar Marker Preferences by tapping the [i] button in the Dates application. Choose Calendar Marker Prefs... * Show Week Numbers: If checked, week numbers are displayed * Show Meetings: Master on/off switch to show repeating and non-repeating meetings * Non-Repeating: Enable/Display non-repeating meetings * Repeating: Enable/Display repeating meetings (slower) * Show Day Notes: Master on/off switch to show repeating and non-repeating Day Notes * Non-Repeating: Enable/Display non-repeating Day Notes * Repeating: Enable/Display repeating Day Notes (slower) * Draw Box: If checked, a box is drawn for Day Notes, otherwise the date is underlined Note: Calendar Marker respects your settings for the first day of the week, but you'll have to close and re-open Dates if you change this Dates preference setting. ========================================== Installing Calendar Marker: If you currently have an old version of CM installed, remove it before installing this version. Use your favorite package installer to install either CalMkrSm.pkg, and CMPrefs.pkg on your Newton. It will work when installed on a card. Calendar Marker will work with other calendar packages (such as Action Names & Agenda) if you install it AFTER those packages. If you delete AN&A, you should reset your Newton so CM can start working again. If you have AN&A installed on a card, put CM on the card AFTER AN&A. This is a limitation of the Newton operating system and an inherent danger in patching existing applications. ========================================== Paying for Calendar Marker: Send a check in US funds for $10 to: John Schettino 97 Jewett Street Pepperell, MA 01463 Comments, questions, feature requests, etc.: email js12@gte.com ========================================== Visit my homepage for the latest info on Calendar Marker, and my other projects! http://members.aol.com/pdcjohns/ ==========================================
