Short: Timed reminder for 2.04+ WB - V1.1 Author: tkreuzer@delphi.com Architecture: m68k-amigaos Uploaded: tkreuzer@delphi.com Features - Outputs a reminder consisting of a user-supplied text string following a user-defined time interval - Time interval can be based on either a: -- Standard clock (HH:MM AM/PM), or -- Duration (HH:MM:SS) - Reminder can be: -- A Workbench screen-based pop-up window with optional Workbench screen flash -- Spoken via the AmigaDOS "Say" command (see "Requirements") -- Both the above - Spoken reminder is tunable as follows: -- Choice of Male/Female/Natural/Monotone voice -- Selectable speed -- Selectable pitch -- Test button allows you to hear the spoken reminder so you can checkout your "tuning" prior to committing the reminder - Gadtools user-interface - Tested OK using the Enforcer Requirements - AmigaDOS 2.04(+) - 68000(+) CPU - To utilize the spoken reminder option, you must have the following files present: -- L:speak-handler -- LIBS:translator.library -- DEVS:narrator.device -- SYS:Utilities/Say Note that the above is the standard "speech" software distribution and placement for AmigaDOS 1.3 and 2.04. Commodore ceased distribution of these files beginning with AmigaDOS 2.1. If you have upgraded to AmigaDOS 2.1 and/or 3.0, you should be able to copy these files from your original AmigaDOS 1.3 and/or 2.04 distribution disks. Finally, the exact location of the "Say" program can be adjusted via the SAYLOCATION Tooltype (see "Icon Tooltypes"). That is, the "Say" program does NOT have to be in the SYS:Utilities directory. Limitations - Can only be used from the Workbench (start via Icon) - Only 1 reminder per program execution is supported - Once set, no method of canceling a reminder is provided - Previously set reminders do not survive system reboots - A maximum period of 24 hours is supported for both duration types - Reminder was developed on an A1200 and A4000 running AmigaDOS 3.0 I do not have an AmigaDOS 2.04 or 2.1 system to test on Therefore, I cannot guarantee that the program will work 100% correctly under 2.04 or 2.1 Please let me know if you have success using Reminder on either a 2.04 or 2.1-based system Release Notes - Version 1.0 : Initial release. - Version 1.1 : Added spoken reminder functionality. Reworked user interface given the preceding. Changed "library version" minimum to include AmigaDOS 2.04 and above. Changed compilation/link CPU target to "any CPU".
