REMIND version 3.0 for MS-DOS
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm no longer officially supporting Remind under
|
|
DOS. It may very well work, but if it doesn't... you're on your own.
|
|
|
|
REMIND is a sophisticated alarm/calendar program. Details are given
|
|
in the man page, "remind.1".
|
|
|
|
1 - Read the file COPYRIGHT. (This may be called COPYRIGH on your
|
|
MS-DOS system.)
|
|
|
|
2 - Examine the file config.h and adjust parameters as needed
|
|
|
|
3 - If you are using Turbo C to compile Remind, type:
|
|
|
|
make -fmakefile.tc
|
|
|
|
If you are using Microsoft C to compile Remind, type:
|
|
|
|
make makefile.msc
|
|
|
|
This will create REMIND.EXE, which is ready to be executed.
|
|
|
|
The file "defs.rem" has some sample Remind definitions and commands,
|
|
as well as U.S. and Jewish holidays.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
- You should define L_LANGNAME to be the full English name of your language,
|
|
with the first letter capitalized and the rest lower-case.
