Skoll [REMIND description follows. --Ed] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMIND is a replacement for the Unix 'calendar' program. Remind is much more sophisticated than calendar, and incorporates the following features: o Flexible date specifications o Intelligent handling of holidays o The ability to run programs at specified dates and times, as well as display messages o The ability to issue timed reminders which 'pop up' onto the screen before meetings, appointments, etc. o The ability to remind you of events as far in advance as you desire o The ability to produce a printed calendar with reminders automatically filled in. o Convenient text substitution capabilities within the body of a reminder --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, David Skoll.
