Regulars/StarInfo/Miskin/!Today/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

!Today
========
This is an extension of the original program for the PC, that was
ported onto the Arc by James Noad. Although the original Arc version was
very good it did have some draw-backs.
- It was not possible to select another date other than Today.
Although the program was designed for the current day, the
original PC version did allow you to change the day.
- To add new days you had to use edit and put in all the codes
for date, year, type and day yourself. Although this would be
possible I thought that it would be better if the program
could do it.
- The Arc version (although run from the desktop) was not fully
multitasking and I wanted a multitasking version to make it
even easier to use with other programs (e.g. copy the data
onto a word-processor).
This new program has all of these features. When it is run by double-
clicking its icon in the filer window you get a main window with all the
records for the day that you run it on. There is also a line of icons
across the top.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Month [ ] | Day [ ] | Scanfiles | Search | Add Data | Info
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first 2 that you can use alter the month and day (Select will
increase and Adjust will decrease). The next icon (Scanfiles) will take
the new date that you have selected and bring up all the records for that
date.
The Search icon will bring up a window allowing you to perform searches
in the files for specified items. See the section Searching for more
details. The Add Data icon will show a window allowing you to add data to
the files on disk. This will then allow them to be found at a later date by
the program.
Searching
---------
To perform a search you must first setup the search string. This can
be anything that could be in the text. The program will then scan through
all the files for any record with your search string in it. There is also
a control code, a '?' means a single character but of any type.
eg. H?M will find any three of more letters which have an H and an M with
one letter between them.
You can select whether it is case sensitive (Whether an 'a' is the
same as an 'A') and you run it by clicking on the yellow icon. All
references will then come up in the main window.
The three tickable icons on the right of the window allow you to
select the types of record allowed. Any type that is unselected will be
ignored.
The range facility will allow you to ignore records that are outside
a range that is specified. To make this facility work you have to select
the 'In Range' icon.
There is a maximum of 255 records or a little more than 30 kilobytes of
search text, going above either of these will cause an error. But if you are
being specific enough these will not occur.
Adding
------
This allows you to simply add records to the files. You select the
date for the entry with the 3 white icons on the left. The type can be set
with the 3 tickable icons. The 'Own File' and 'Month File' allow to set
which file it will be added to.
The special day section allows you to select whether to have a
special day and which day it will be be. Having a special day allows you
to have dates which will only show on a certain day. For instance if you
were to have 7 dates with the same record but with a special day of Sunday,
the record would only come up if the date selected was a sunday. This
allows you to put dates in that are on the first sunday of a month, or on
specific days like fathers day.
The Record date icon allows you to save it to file and the Clear Text
icon will clear the 5 text icons at the bottom of the window.
Editing
-------
You can edit the text files in a text editor providing that each line
is followed by a newline character and also that at the end of the file
there is only one newline character at the end of the file.The format for an
item is as follows:-
Column 1: The record type which can be a B for birthdays,
S for special dates in history or R for a reminder.
Cols 2-5: Month and day as MMDD with leading zeros. Zeros
for either month or day cause ALL months or days
to match when being scanned. For example 0001
would match the first of every month while 0400
would match every day of April.
Cols 6-9: The full year of the event as four digits.
May be left blank, msg will move left.
Column 10: A special processing flag. Values may be:
-BLANK for no special processing.
-C to continue a message from the previous line.
Note, that you MUST repeat the date fields.
-DAY-OF-WEEK DIGIT where 1=Sunday ... 7=Saturday
This will cause the message to display only if the
date falls on a certain day of the week. Look in
the November file for voting day examples.
Rest: Text followed by a newline character.
If you want to add items with a text editor you must make sure the
format is correct because the program will not check for you (it takes too
much time when it has a search to perform and there is a perfectly good date
adding function built in).
Updates
-------
2.00 (8-Jun-91) The original multitasking basic version. Solved the
problems of the original but was very slow.
2.01 (16-Jun-91) Wrote it in RISC code. Much faster but there was a
bug so any continued day did not work. Added a section that will
break lines if they go above 62 characters in length. This makes
it much more readable.
2.02 (18-Jun-91) Removed the bug in the code (Now the continue codes
are used properly.
2.04 (21-Jun-91) Started adding the search option to make it easier
to find records about specific items.
2.05 (25-Jun-91) Sorted out a bug in the code so now the main today
window shows data correctly. Also changed my mind about the
display. Now any record without a specified year has a '????'
icon instead of a year. Before it was confusing and looked like
a continuation of the previous record.
2.06 (31-Jun-91) Added the type facility to the search to make it
easier to specify records. Also added print to the search and
the main windows.
2.07 (4-Jul-91) Added the range facility to the search. It now will
allow you to specify pretty accurately what you want so you
minimize the records that you get.
2.08 (9-Jul-91) Tidied the code so it ran faster (and was shorter).
This has allowed me to make the maximum number of records 80 and
increase the data it can handle for a search to 9000 bytes.
2.09 (25-May-92) Gave it an icon-bar icon and a menu with quit. Now you
cannot quit by closing the windows. Tidied up the WIMP interface
and made it more user friendly. Also cured a couple of bugs in the
save routines (one that wouldn't allow saving to the month file
and one that caused the event type to be saved wrongly). Increased
the maximum records to 100 and made it force the first letter of a
string to uppercase when it is displayed in the main window or the
search window.
2.10 (19-Aug-94) Thanks to Charlie Alford, a few bug fixes and
improvements have been made. Buffer overflow errors no longer
happen when !Today is run. Also the maximum ammount of text for
one day has been increased to 8K and the maximum for a scan to
more than 30K. Also the file handling has been tidied up and made
a little less fussy about the way a file is saved.
2.11 (13-Apr-95) Another buffer overflow problem fixed when adding
dates to October, Novenmber or December. New data files from
Charlie Alford added.
