Subject: Have any recommendations for a daily scheduler/task list?
Keywords: scheduler task list

Organization: The John Fluke Mfg. Co.  /a.k.a. The Gizmonics Institute/

Question: does anyone have recommendations for a "daily schedule/planner"
application under Windows.  I'm looking for a somewhat simpler, less precise
interface than most of the schedulers I've seen; instead of something that
says I have this appointment at 7:00, this at 8:00, etc., I'm looking more
for something that:

 *  justs lists the things I have to do on a certain day, and allows me to
    prioritize them

 *  Check the task off after I've done it

 *  Carry over the tasks I haven't done to the next day.

 *  Access the task list for any day in the future.

Know of anything that works like this under Windows?  If I can't find
anything, maybe I'll just make something with VB or Toolbox (I did the same
on the Mac with SuperCard, but I'd like to avoid the work this time around
if I could.)  Pointers to magazine articles about this stuff would also be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any information/opinions you could provide.

There's a new and very capable flowcharting program for Windows, being
distributed as shareware: Chartist.  You can get it by ftp from
ftp.cica.indiana.edu as ngchart.zip.

Subject: Looking for hypertext notepad
Distribution: world
Organization: ADC Kentrox, Portland OR

I'm starting a new project and I had the idea that it would be really
nice to keep my notes in some sort of hypertext notepad.  I'm sure
others have thought of this before, so there must be apps for this
purpose.  I have a demo version of Asymetrix Toolbook and that sort
of looks like what I'd like to do.  

What do I want to do?  Well, I guess I want a database that allows
me to enter different types of windows objects.  Say a master screen
might have buttons which take me to other screens full of text.  
Within that text there might be pictures or hyperlinks to other screens.
It would really be nice if those hyperlinks could point to things
like FrameMaker files (we do all our formal documentation in FrameMaker).

With the capabilites of DDE and OLE this seems entirely possible.
Like I said, I think I can do all this (or close to it) with ToolBook.
Any other ideas?  The key is time.  I could write this in visual basic
or Actor or C++ myself, but I don't have the time.  I need something
that will only take a week or so to set up and then I can just use it --
reliably.  

I'll summarize what I hear if there is interest.  Thanks all!

Pete

Thanks for the suggestion.  But at the peril of clogging up my hard disk
even more, I'm really looking for a conversion utility that I can run from
DOS (not from MS Windows, ergo not from AmiPro).

On a related subject: I've noticed a substantial increase in comments from
AmiPro users, and I especially am interested in user-defined macros that
might make my work with the program easier.  For instance, is there a macro
that would assist in importing and exporting ascii files?  Of course, the
program performs these functions; my own experience is that the conversion
process is cumbersome--especially in comparison with the capability of
(aargh) WordPerfect.

Thanks to all who contribute to this bulletin board.

I suspect that this will get solved finally only when enough people
contact SUN and pester them for a separate "Net Login" Windows App
which one can put into the STARTUP group or on the "run=" line.

Last I read Borland had no plans to port DBase to Windows.  They are releasing

to continue support for DBase as a DOS and possibly OS/2 platform.

Howdy (official Texas A&M greeting, I'm told...)

I'm having problems printing a document in Ami Pro 2.0:  In the first
situation, I print to a file and then copy the file to the LaserJet II
using COPY /B  (unfortunately, the LJII isn't connected to my
computer).  Portions or all of some paragraphs are missing or trashed
although about half of the text looks correct.

In the other scenario, I tried printing the document directly on my
Epson LQ850 look-alike:  All the text was printed, but the margins and
spacing were wrong.

I'd appreciate it a _lot_ if someone could help me out with this!

I have been trying to use zmodem protocol for binary file transfer using 
unicom 3d, but for large files some CRC error happens and transmission
stops. When using the terminal program that comes with win3.1, there is
no problem and the files are correctly transmitted. I think there is 
probably something wrong with my settings of unicom. Since unicom has much
more versatility than the terminal program I prefer to use that as soon as 
this transmission problem is resolved. I'd like to know if anybody on the net 
has experienced the same problem. 

Your comments and suggestions are appreciated

Let's just make sure we're making a fair comparison.  Norton's 8.5 megs 
includes Norton Anti Virus, Norton Backup, Desktop Editor, an unerase
facility, Win Batch, two kinds of calculators, Norton disk doctor, system
info, screen saver, icon editor, "tickler"/alarm clock, and key finder.
 
Now i'm sure you can reproduce all of these functions with other commercial
or shareware packages.  But to say "Win Tools does more than norton" is not
really fair.

         available for Macintosh,
 *  Capability to support long strings of text (up to 1000 chrs.

I'm seeking the following: a Windows 3.1 DLL that can decompress

Source code prefered, but if it is well supported just the DLL
might be okay.

Note that I'm definitely not seeking a stand-alone application.
Nor do I need to view the archive contents.  It just has to be

Subject: Do we need to upgrade to AmiPro3.0???
Organization: Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison; Electrical & Computer Engineering

Hi Folks

	As most of you registered users of AmiPro, I finally got the AmiPro 3.0 
upgrade offer letter in the mail today. Well they're charging 79 bucks for the 
upgrade, but my question here is if it is worth it?
	Let's see now, first it has fast format. It says I'll save some key-
strokes by copying one format, and applying it to other parts of the test. Nice 
but I don't think that is worth $79. Drag'nDrop looks like a nice feature for 
moving text, but it isn't an innovation, just a Drag'nDrop from MsWord.
SmartClick can give me a few more dialog boxes, but I already have them at a 
mere 2 keystrokes, so I may not even take rust off my right mouse button. 
I am a single user on a DOS machine so I don't think I need the SmartMerger for
the mail. SmartIcon creator, well I already create SmartIcons and associate 
them to keystrokes etc. Document and style sheet viewer? Well I have my 
StyleSheets documented in a file and at a click of a mouse, so I guess I can 
skip that. Automated label and envelop printing? Great, now I can get that 4/9in
envelop printed right at the first time, without all those trials and misprinted 
envelops. A grammar corrector? How about my free copy of Right Writer, can't I
live with that.
	How about a TrueType fonnts Disk? How about some foreign language 
dictionaries along with the basic package, since many of us might want to
write in Spanish or French etc. How about those innovations like SmartIcons for
2.0 release? Humm wondering why this isn't just AmiPro2.005?
	Well every thing from the upgrade letter seems so cosmetic that I am 
having second thought about spending 79 bucks, any way I dilled their 800 number 
and asked for the free  demo copy. They promptly informed that I'll get that by 
mid August, may be after that I'll change my mind. What do you guys think? Shell 
we jump in the sea just because everyone has got to lay their hands on that
X^3 upgrade? All opinions and critique welcome, including those from Lotus insiders...

This reply is being sent from an MSDOS news reader called Trumpet. While it
does not run under windows, it has a very nice interface and it runs just 
fine in a DOS box under windows. You will need a packet driver setup though.
I will mail you a copy of the manual.
