This area contains 2 simple files implementing a crude but effective reminder system in DCL. The file CALEND.COM is used to insert text into a file in the user's login account (named CALTIK.DAT) which is then able to be shown. Start and end dates are prompted for, with RETURN defaulting to today for the start date, and to the start date for the end date. The TODAY.COM file displays messages if the current system date is between the dates entered by CALEND. If TODAY is run from one's login.com file, it will remind one of appointments, things-to-do, or similar notes, at login. The notes to oneself may be any length; a null line terminates them on entry. There is no special provision for cleaning the files up; edit the CALTIK.DAT file for this function. Note that this permits reminders to be left on the system which can come back to hit you months later if you so specify. Dates are entered as dd-mmm-yyyy OR as dd-mmm-yy. If the first 2 digits of the year are omitted, the 1900 is added in. This facilitates use by people used to RSX syntax.
