(Permission denied.) Remind is a sophisticated alarm/calendar program which handles the common and Hebrew calendars, produces PostScript output, calculates sunrise, sunset and moon phases, is multilingual, and can do complicated date calculations very easily. It also includes a www calendar server, which you can look at from my home page, http://www.doe.carleton.ca/~dfs/ Here's the LSM: Begin3 Title: Remind Version: 03.00.16 Entered-date: 10 February 1997 Description: Full-featured calendar/reminder program featuring sophisticated date calculation, moon phases, sunrise/sunset, Hebrew calendar, alarms, PostScript output, X-Windows front-end, multilingual messages, and proper handling of holidays. Available for UNIX, MS-DOS, OS/2, and other platforms. Includes scripts for making a nice WWW calendar server. Keywords: calendar reminder alarm datebook PostScript www Author: aa775@freenet.carleton.ca (David F. Skoll) Maintained-by: aa775@freenet.carleton.ca (David F. Skoll) Primary-site: ftp.doe.carleton.ca /pub/Remind-3.0 230kB remind-3.0.16.tgz Alternate-site: Original-site: Platform: Linux, Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX -- virtually any UN*X-like system. Wish 4.x required for TCL/Tk front-end, but this is not essential to use the software. Copying-policy: An AMENDED version of GPL. The amendments prohibit porting to MS Windows and use by a certain Canadian corporation. End Here's what's changed since 3.0.15. + MINOR ENHANCEMENTS - - Bundled scripts for making a nice WWW calendar server. See the "www" subdirectory in the release. - - Added support for the Romanian language, courtesy of Liviu Daia. - - Changed sunrise() and sunset() as follows: If the sun never rises, sunrise() returns 1440 and sunset() returns 0. In this case, sunrise()-sunset() returns the length of the dark period of the day, in minutes. If the sun never sets, sunrise() returns 0 and sunset() returns 1440, and sunset()-sunrise() returns the length of the light period of the day, in minutes. Thanks to Michael Salmon for explaining the utility of this. See the file "defs.rem" for the functions _light_len and _dark_len which return the length in minutes of the light and dark period of the day, respectively. + BUG FIXES - - If you used the "-g" option, then no background reminders were ever issued. DOH! Thanks to Greg Badros for pointing this out. - - Fixed a problem under Solaris 2.5 whereby rem2ps was skipping some latin1 characters which it interpreted as white space. - -- David F.
