WinDO Version 2.1:

Win Daily Organizer is simple Windows-based program designed to remind the user
of various events such as birthdays, anniversary’s, appointments, and things to 
do. Each reminder type can be set up as Single day, Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly,
Monthly,Quarterly, Semi Annually or Annually.  There are two special reminder 
types for birthdays and anniversary’s that will calculate the person's age or 
years married. Once a reminder is entered, the program will automatically keep 
track of updating and display its data as the days, weeks and months go by.  
There are several start up options that enable the user to run the program once 
per day regardless of how many times Windows is re-started.  The program can 
also play up to four "wav" sound files when a reminder is due.

Installing WinDO Ver. 2.1:

Special Note (Down Loaded copies only):
You must have a copy of "VB40016.DLL" installed in your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory 
before you begin the installation.  You will receive the following error if it 
is not installed "Cannot start main setup program [WinExec()] returned 0002H".  
This file can be found in many CompuServe and America Online forums, as well as 
on many local BBS's.  I will also be keeping a copy of it on the WinDO WEB page 
"http://members.aol.com/meadjm/homepage/index.html"


Note:
The SETUP program used to install WinDO needs to access several files that may
be in use by other programs.  Please make sure that the WinDO Setup (SETUP.EXE) 
is the only program running in Windows during the installation or errors may 
occur.  If any "File in use" errors occur, choose "Cancel" instead of "Ignore" 
and exit the installation program. Check for programs loading in the Windows 
"Startup" group and temporarily disable them. Then reboot your computer and try 
installing WinDO again.


Please make backup copies of your "WINDO.DAT" file if you are installing this
version in the same directory as your previous version.  You will not be able to 
use the file again in Ver. 2.0. reliably.

1.	To install WinDO, insert the WinDO disk #1 in the floppy drive.

2.	In Windows 95, click the Windows Start menu, and then click Run.
	The run dialog box appears.

	In Windows 3.1, pull down the File menu, then select run.

3.	Type a:setup or any path that the unzipped (decompressed) files were 
	copied to. ie c:\temp.

4.	Click OK.  If the "setup" program reports an error, please shut down other
	programs that may be running and try again.

	The installation program will prompt you for the appropriate information.

5.	The installation program will create two WinDO icons.  One is in the folder
	"Win Daily Organizer" and the other is in the Window's "StartUp" group 
	(If you elected this option). The icon labeled "WinDO Auto" is intended 
	to be placed in your Window's "Startup" folder.  It has the appropriate	
	command line switches which allows WinDO to run once per day and only if
	reminders are visible for that day when Window's is started.  The 
	icon labeled WinDO is the one used to run WinDO in the normal mode. Do 
	not try to use the icon labeled "WinDO Auto" to run the program manually 
	since the may not start.

6.	The first time WinDO is run it will automatically create WINDO.DAT, 
	WINDO.BAK and WINDO.INI. These files contain the reminder data and 
	options you have selected.  If you have selected "View Old Reminders", 
	WinDO will also create PAST_REM.TXT and PAST_REM.BAK. These files will 
	store your old or past reminder data.

7.	If you have used a previous version of WinDO, you may already have an 
	icon in	your Window's "Startup"	group.  Please delete the old icon and 
	keep the labeled "WinDO Auto"

Registering WinDO 

This program is Shareware.  It has not been disabled in any way and there are no 
annoying nag screens within the 60 day evaluation period.  If you find WinDO 
useful, please register it by completing the registration form and enclosing the 
registration fee of $10.00. 

Information on registering WinDO can by found in the WinDO help file.  Press 
"F1" to enable WinDO Help while WinDO is loaded.

Upgrade Notes: (Ver 2.0 to 2.1)

Version 2.1 modifies the WINDO.DAT by adding extra information.  This extra
information may cause version 2.0 to lockup and corrupt the data file.  Backup 
WINDO.DAT if you are installing version 2.1 in the same directory as a previous 
version of WinDO.

Upgrade Notes: (Ver 1.1 to 2.0)

WinDO 2.0 uses the same file format as version 1.0.  There are some changes in
the way version 2.0 handles old reminders and therefore filters them out of the 
WINDO.DAT file and copies them to PAST_REM.TXT automatically.  Version 2.0 also 
filters out "&&" double ampersands that may or may not be in your reminder
message text.  Version 1.1 required these to display correctly as "&" (John &
Helga). If for some reason you wish to return to version 1.1, make a backup copy 
of your WINDO.DAT file (Do not call it WINDO.BAK, since WinDO uses that file 
name for its backup).

________________________________________________________________________________

Foreign Date Formats:

I have tried to make WinDO compatible with different date formats (this has been
a constant problem with version 1.1).  I have tested several date and time 
formats and believe it is working correctly in this version.  If you run into 
problems please notify me.
________________________________________________________________________________


Known Bugs:
1.	The date of your reminder may not display if the date cell is too small.  To
	correct this display error, make the date cell wider by grabbing its 
	right boarder with the mouse. 	WinDO will remember the new size.

2.	WinDO is not compatible with the "Mode Switch Accelerator" module in 	
	Hurricane Ver 2.01.  If you wish to use WinDO, please disable this 	
	module.  The other modules in Hurricane do not appear to cause problems
	with WinDO.
