Happy Birthday v1.0 January 1998 ============================================================================ Description =========== This program is a birthday alarm for the Auto folder. This works even if Address isn't installed as a desktop accessory or resident in memory, the data is taken directly from the ADR files. Configuration ============= Happy is configured using HAPPY.INF: Here's an example file: --------8<--------- HappyConfig=5|20|20|1|30 (start|end|pause|bing|only on cold boot) C:\ADDRESS.ADR E:\ADDRESS\DATA\PERSONAL.ADR --------8<--------- As many path lines as desired can be added. Each listed ADR is searched for birthdays. The 'HappyConfig' line works a follows: -start: Sets how many days before the birthday, up to 28, to start sounding the alarm -end: How many days ahead to search, up to 28 days -pause: Sets the time delay if the program is running in the Auto folder and there are birthdays to announce (press the [Esc] key to skip) -bing: Audible 'bing' before the pause begins Bing=0 means no sound, any other value means sound is active -only on cold boot: The length of a boot sequence can vary dramatically, enter the value in seconds before data is reported to screen. Copyright ========= Happy is part of the Address distribution and is covered by the Address copyright. Happy may not be distributed separately.
