%CO:A,12,72%%H2%%H1%Z88 Diary Month-To-A-View Schedule Generator

%H4%Simon Phipps  (0221)


This program produces output like this:

%H1%Monday%H1%
%H2%27%H2% Vacation 
%H2% 4%H2% Vacation 
%H2%11%H2% Vacation 
%H2%18%H2% Xmas Lun 


From diary entries like this:

Work:    10:30    S Wales
Work:    .        HALF DAY
Work:    14:00    Branch meeting {Meetings}

(on seperate days, of course).


It is configured with defaults for most things, and you can just RUN it 
within in BASIC.  However, it is capable of reading a configuration 
file to get defaults.  It expects to find a file called 
:RAM.0/Config.Sys, and looks there for defaults.  In particular, it is 
looking for a line which looks like this:

Schedule=:Ram.1/Sched.Cfg

The word 'Schedule' must look exactly like that & be followed by '='.

If this entry is found, future parameters are looked up in the named 
file, otherwise Config.Sys is used.  I intend to locate other 
parameters in this file in the future & encourage others to do so, to 
get rid of the proliferation of configuration files.

Parameters which may be entered in the configuration file are (shown 
below with their defaults):

SG-DiaryFile=:Ram.0/Diary
SG-Kind=Work:   
SG-Output=Schedule.Out

These may all be changed from the options menu in the program.

The sequence of use is:

Run the program
Use the (G)enerate option to read your diary
Use the (D)isplay option to look at your schedule
Use the (O)utput options to generate PD or printouts


The Generate option uses the following logic to fill up the schedule:

a)  Skip through the disry looking for the start date
b)  When found, look for a line tagged with the SG-Kind
c)  If found, EITHER take the text in {} OR 8 chars starting from char 
    17 in the line
d)  If SG-Kind is blank, take the first qualifying line for each date
e)  Watch out for the end date & return when found


To generate a print-out, from the (O)utput menu select (O)ptions and 
change the file name to :PRT.0

Excuse the sketchy documentation: I'll write a proper manual for the 
next update!
