It much nicer than the free time-management programs you may have seen writen in BASIC. It combines a powerful calendar, which understands complex dates like, "the second thursday of every month" or "the last business day of January", allows you set warning messages in calendar or business days before any date, repeats dates on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis, etc, etc. I've yet to find a calendar entry it won't handle. Coupled with this is a "todo" setup which helps you organize tasks by priority and stress. As each is completed they can be optionally logged with the date to a seperate file. All of this is run by a "move the pointer" interface which is quick and easy to learn. The calendar alone is worth the $50 Acroatix wants for it. I don't have their phone number handy, but the address for Acroatix is: Acroatix, Inc.
