ymcal 0.35b0 README

ymcal is a very old PalmPilot app written to display a monthly calendar
view on a Pilot 5000, well before the PalmOS 2.0 DateBook added its own
monthly view feature.

It is now not very useful; but I updated it anyway so that it should
work somewhat on a Palm III.

Here's stuff from the old 1996, 1997 readme:


(NEWS UPDATE: Palm adds month view to the Datebook app in the new
 PalmPilot Personal and Professional models. Yea! 3/10/97)

yMCal is an demo of how a monthly calendar might look on the USR/Palm
Pilot PDA.  The little squares on the left of each day indicate
appointments in the AM, afternoon or evening.  The square on the right
indicates a dated ToDo for that day.  The round indicator at the bottom
indicates an untimed Datebook event on that day.  Tapping the little
squares will take you to the Datebook or ToDo app near the event (but
not if it's a repeat.)  The refresh/update button will add any new
events that have been added to the current month since yMCal was last
run.  Some day/week of the year numbers are at the bottom of the
calendar.

New: ymcal has a menu command that may forward all your unfinished
and dated ToDo's to tommorow.  This modifies the ToDo database and
cannot be undone.  Use at your own risk.

There are no plans to complete, upgrade, or fix bugs in this demo
application.

  Selecting a repeated appt. sends you to the very first entry.

FAQ's

Q: I want to go to a day in with no entries the Datebook by tapping on
   an empty square in yMCal.

A: The Pilot Datebook doesn't provide a clean way to do this.
   [New: ymcal 0.2b9 will ask if you want to create a noon Datebook
   entry that you can then GoTo. This modifies the Datebook dabase.
   Use at your own risk.]

Q: I want to go back to yMCal from the Datebook.

A: The Pilot PalmOS doesn't provide a way to do this. 
   Maybe the HackExtensions people will do this.

A: You can edit the first byte of the prc file with any binary editor.
   This will change the name and order as it appears on the Pilot.

Q: yMCal is too slow...

A: So what do you expect from a few spare evenings of tinkering?
