Program:
   Txt2Agn


Version:
   1.10


Platforms:
   Psion 3a, 3c and Siena. Also runs on the Acorn Pocketbook II.


Purpose:
   Convert a plain text file of dates and events into an Agenda file.
   Examples of use include converting rota sheets prepared in a spreadsheet
   or simply processing a timetable from work. An example of the input file
   (using dd/mm/yy format) is:

      14/2/97 Valentines day
      25/12/97 Christmas day
      25/12/1997 Visit parents

   Invalid dates are detected and can be corrected by the user or
   automatically by the program. A variety of preference settings are
   available to control the conversion process and context-sensitive help is
   accessible at all times.

   Timed entries are also possible using 12 hour or 24 hour clocks:

      31/3/97 8am Get up for work.
      3/4/97  12pm-2pm Lunch with Bob.
      3/4/97  22:30-  Sleeping!

   Invalid/unrecognised times are interpreted as untimed entries.
