7 - There is an acceptance test for other systems. If you want to
test remind on your QDOS / SMSQ system execute the following
commands from your command line:
SETENV "TEST_GETENV=foo bar baz"
ex datad$&'remind';'-e -dxte test_rem 16 feb 1991 > test_out'
ex diff;'test_out test_cmp >test_diff'
Then check the output of diff. You will find lots of differences.
If there are other than differences in the filename
(supplied test-result: ./test.rem, QDOS result: test_rem) and
in the ostype (supplied: UNIX, QDOS: QDOS / SMSQ) Remind does
not work correctly.
The file "defs_rem" has some sample Remind definitions and commands,
as well as U.S. and Jewish holidays. You should delete the definitions
for ANSI colours as the QL does not support the ANSI standard.
OTHER LANGUAGE SUPPORT
Remind has support for languages other than English. See the file
"lang_h" for details. The language support may vary - you can change
only the substitution filter, or you can translate all of the usage
instructions and error messages as well. See "french_h" for an
example of the latter.
If you add support for a non-English language, Remind will accept both the
English and non-English names of months and weekdays in an input script.
However, you should not rely on this feature if you want to write portable
Remind scripts.
At a minimum, you should support month and day names in the foreign
language, and should modify the substitution filter appropriately.
If you are truly diligent, you can translate usage and error messages
too.
Take a look at the files "english_h" and "german_h" if you want to add
support for your favourite language. If you do add another language
to Remind, please let me know! Here are the basic guidelines:
- Your language file should be called "lxxx_h", where lxxx is the first 8
characters of the ENGLISH name of your language.
- Your language file should define L_LANGNAME to be the full English
name of your language, with the first letter capitalized and the rest
lower-case.
See README.UNIX for some more information about Remind.
