Reminder 2.2 SE
Tutorial
This is a birthday reminder and a simple address book. Every address entry can be associated
with a date (e.g. birthday of a person) and an individual pre-warning period. If you start
the program when an entry reaches the pre-warning period a window pops up and reminds you for
that.

If you want the program to remind you for a database item you must assign a date
(e.g. 02/20/2002 or 2002-02-20) and a pre-warning period
(e.g. 3 for 3 days before) to the item.
You must add a shortcut to the startup folder if you want the program to do a database
check automaticly when the systems starts up (or at midnight). Then an alarm window pops up
if the pre-warning period of an item is reached. Select the item "Create Startup Shortcut"
in the menu "Edit" to create such a shortcut.
