OnTime Version 1.15 - "The Calendar That Means Business"
                         Copyright 1990 David Batterson

     OnTime is one of those miscellaneous programs that sounds great in theory,
but you wonder how many people will actually end up using it.
     Forget-Me-Not was a pop-up reminder program I reviewed sometime back.  I
haven't seen or heard much about it since.
     The average busy executive does rather well with a day planner filled with
scribbled appointments and comments.  Companies have sold umpteen millions of
them, proving their popularity.
     This doesn't mean this isn't a well-designed program, because it is.
OnTime's screens have a contemporary look, and commands are intuitive.
     There's the week-at-a-glance screen, where you can view any week that you
choose.  The Day Planner screen lets you see your day's events in hour, half-
hour or 15-minute segments.
     The lifetime calendar goes up to 2079, which should be fine for everyone
but George Burns.  Events can be entered years into the future if you want.
You can be alerted of appointments through the Alarm feature, even while
running another program.
     Recurring events are no problem either.  OnTime works with daily, weekly,
biweekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-yearly and yearly events.  For example, if
your weekly sales meeting is Tuesday at 1 P.M., you can do one entry and then
all forthcoming days/times are marked.
     The calendar printout can cover up to nine weeks.  OnTime uses a special
format for HP LaserJets and compatibles.  These calendar printouts fold up for
pocket-size convenience too.
     Another nice touch is the Quick Look-up feature.  By using a name or
keyword, you can find the appointment you're looking for.  Rescheduling
appointments is accomplished easily.
     You can run OnTime in stand alone or memory resident mode.  As a TSR
program, it requires only 15K.
     So there you have it.  You know what it does now, so the decision on
whether to buy it is up to YOU.
     OnTime Ver. 1.15 requires DOS 2.1 or higher (3.1 or higher for memory
resident use) and 320K RAM.  The price has been reduced from the original
$69.95, so check with the company or a software dealer for current pricing.
