 Reminder System  ===============   G A simple reminder system - if like me you've a memory like a sieve then G you might find this useful. I wrote it for myself initially but now let ! my users use it should they wish. I Now it might be pretty i/o intensive if there are a lot of users using it 8 but I can't tell you because I don't have that scenario.  J First of all, edit all the command files, at the top of each one should be  lines simalir to the following :  ) $udb="sys$common:[mis]reminder_users.dat" $ $msg="sys$common:[mis]reminders.dat"  K These lines point to a directory that everybody can write to! You will need # to change these for your own needs. K Also remove any references to M_VANBELLEN to your username, this allows you I to be the manager of the reminder system to peek at others reminders, add , reminders for anyone, remove reminders etc..  * The files should unpack to the following :  $ Directory DKA500:[AUTOMATE.REMINDER]  > DETACH.COM;3			Runs REMIND_SCHEDULE.COM as a detached process.A HOW_TO.TXT;1                    This file you are reading.        ? REMINDERS.FDL;3			File definition of file to contain reminders. L REMINDER_USERS.FDL;6            File definition of file of registered users.A REMIND_ERROR.LIS;20		Error output if any from REMIND_SCHEDULE.COM N REMIND_SCHEDULE.COM;40          This actually sends out reminder notifications8 R_ADD_REMINDER.COM;55		Enter a reminder into the system.O R_ADD_USER.COM;26               Set user options for reminder system (register) F R_REM_VIEW_REMINDER.COM;31	Listing of reminders with option to delete.+ R_WHO.COM;14			Who can I set reminders for?   H Put the following in your SYLOGIN.COM (substitute your own directories!)  9 $ remind_register:==@dka500:[automate.reminder]r_add_user = $ remind_add     :==@dka500:[automate.reminder]r_add_reminder B $ remind_view    :==@dka500:[automate.reminder]r_rem_view_reminder4 $ remind_who     :==@dka500:[automate.reminder]r_who  ( Put the following in your system startup  # $ @dka500:[automate.reminder]detach    Oh and before you use do  6 create/fdl=reminders.fdl disk:[directory]reminders.dat@ create/fdl=reminder_users.fdl disk:[directory]reminder_users.dat  L Where disk:[directory] is the area where everyone will have write access to.    P ================================================================================  H If you improve this system in any way, mail me the improvements and I'll resubmit to WKU.EDU. Any suggestions please mail me. L Oh, a bit of feedback would be nice if you pull this off wku.edu if you likeE the progs - mail me and let me know, it'd be nice to know that's all!   P +----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+P | Mark Van-Bellen               E-Mails MVANBELLEN@HNS.COM |                   |P | Systems Engineer            +----------------------------+                   |P | Hughes Network Systems Ltd. | Telephone : +44 908 221122 extension 211       |P | Milton Keynes, England.     | Fax       : +44 908 221127                     |P +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+P |   The three faithful things in life are money, a dog, and an old woman.      |P +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+  
