DESCRIPTION
A program to keep track of birthdays, anniversaries and other important
events. It is an easy-to-use, intuition-based utility for the absent-
minded and it is considered to be the best reminder utility, program
launcher and alarm clock fascility available for the Amiga platform.
FEATURES
o be reminded with requesters, alerts or practically anything that can be
displayed on an Amiga-monitor
o automatically start programs (CLI/WB/AREXX/BATCH) depending on the date,
time or weekday
o create input events at certain days/time/weekday
o keep track of the remaining days/time to important events
o keep track of the days/time since important events happened
o be reminded every # day (e.g. every 14th day)
o be reminded # days before or after the event
o be reminded once a day, every time you boot, before or after a certain
date, before or after a certain hour or minute
o be reminded about events until you acknowledge them
o be reminded on certain weekdays
o display unlimited lines of text in the same requester or alert
o group different events and make them appear simultaneously
o keep a simple database of the birthdays of family and friends
o let your Amiga keep track of how old people are by insterting the date
of birth in the middle of the string where you want to display the age
(I.e. the text "Adam is {years:08/05/1970} years old today" may be
displayed as "Adam is 24 years old today".)
o make advanced events which are displayed for example after 21:00 every
3rd day the first 7 days of every 2nd month the next 4 years
o combine all of the attributes mentioned above in the same event
o enter these events in an easy-to-use, totally font adaptable multi-
window environment and without the need of programming-knowledge, just
by entering the desired text and pressing a few buttons
o localized for most languages supported by Commodore as well as some
unsupported ones
o well documented - over 100K of documentation!

DISTRIBUTABILITY
The archive may be spread through BBS, Internet, AmiNet and on Public
Domain disks as long as the archive is not modified in any way. This
means that you can copy it freely as long as you don't ask for a more than
nominal copying fee. This fee must not be more than US $5 or 5 DM. It
would be much appreciated if magazines notified me through e-mail or
ordinary mail if they include Recall on a cover-disk.
If you wish to include Recall on a magazine cover disk, you may do so as
long as you send a complimentary copy of the magazine issue in which it
appears to my home address. The entire package must be included on the
disk, not just the executable. Please contact me in advance to ensure you
have the latest version.
If you wish to supply Recall as part of a CD-ROM compilation of freeware,
you may do so as long as the disc contains at least 20 Mb of other
freeware. Otherwise, contact me first please. Explicit permission is
granted to distribute Recall on any CD-ROM produced by Fred Fish / Amiga
Library Services, and on any officially supported Aminet compilation CD-
ROM.
