Description:

     Mini Scheduler was designed with the point and click user in mind.
     There is nothing complicated to learn.  If you want to have a program
     start at 11:05 AM, everyday, it's no more than a few clicks of the
     mouse and it's done.  If you would like your kids to know when it's
     time to shut the computer off, same thing.  With the two built in 
     reminder options, you can notify the computer user of anything you 
     like.  With the Auto Start feature, you can start any program or file 
     you like at any time you like.

     This is the first public release of Mini Scheduler, with that in mind
     it's called 1.1b.  Mini Scheduler was tested and performs as it should, 
     but it's amazing at how many good suggestions for features and 
     improvements come in almost immediately, making the next version 
     resemble little of the first. So whether or not other programs
     that are first time releases call themselves betas, they are.  For that
     reason this is called a "b" release.

Additional Information:

   *This program was written and designed on Windows 95, It may or 
    may not work an Windows NT or some other 32 bit Operating Systems.
    If you use it on an Operating System other than Windows 95 I make 
    no guarantees about performance.

   **The screen resolution for development was 800 X 600 and was chosen
     because it is the average setting by users.  The program should be
     usuable with other settings, but if you notice some fonts difficult
     to read, that is probably the reason.

Last Minute:

     There is a slight problem with "Modifying" an auto start in Mini
     Scheduler.  This problem is confined only to modifying an existing
     auto start.  If you click the modify button and then change only the
     time or frequency and not the program, it gets saved as a one time 
     audio reminder, and not an auto start.  The solution to this is to 
     treat any modification of auto start information as if it were a new
     autostart, resetting all as if it were empty.  This will be corrected
     in the next release. 

     International users.

     Mini Scheduler uses the dd/mm/yy date format.  If you are having 
     problems with it showing incorrect days of the week etc., this is why.
     You can get an updated .exe file at:

     Http://webwrite.com/savantguarde/minisked/mnskintl.zip

     Except for the date fix, and a new about screen, this file is 
     exactly the same as the one included in this setup.  Simply 
     replace the Schedule.exe that gets installed with this setup,
     with the Schedule.exe that comes in the update.  The total 
     download size is 41k.

Installation:

    Simply unzip the contents into a temporary directory and run the setup.

    You must be running Windows 95.

Trouble Shooting:

    For the sake of download time and distribution size, some of the files
    that may be necessary to run this software have been intentionally left
    out of this zip.  This wasn't a haphazard decision, most systems will 
    already have these files, or most of them.  Including them would double
    the download time.  So for those of you that already have them, I am 
    sure you appreciate the reduction in size, for those that don't the 
    problem is easily resolved.

    This a list of the missing files.

         VB40032.dll
         VEN2232.dll
         OLEPRO32.olb
         MSVCRT20.dll
         MSVCRT40.dll
         CTL3D32.dll

    If you encounter any errors pertaining to these files, I have them 
    zipped up at my web page.  The URL is:

    http://webwrite.com/savantguarde/vbasic/runtime.zip

    If you downloaded this from msn, you can get them in the "Shareware 
    Tools Library".  If you downloaded this from winsite or some other 
    archive, they too have these files zipped up, look for vb40032.zip or
    something of that nature.  Just unzip them all into your Windows\System
    directory.  The only exception may be the CTL3D32.dll, which may have 
    to be placed in the Enigma directory.


Support:

     Support is limited to email, in some cases I may be reached by phone.  
     Barring any unforseen, you will have a response from me within 12 to 24 
     hours, except (maybe) on weekends.  

     WARNING:  I offer full support of my software, and will do anything and 
               everything to resolve any problems you may encounter, within 
               reason.  If you use this software in a manner that was not 
               intended, on an unsupported operating system or something of 
               that nature, I will try to resolve the problem.  You must 
               understand that this may go beyond the scope, and I reserve 
               the right to terminate support at any time.

Comments and Bug Reports:

     Even with all the testing that gets done on programs, it is always possible
     that something can still go wrong.  If you experience a problem, please 
     email me.  Try to include as much information as you can, the events that 
     lead up to the problem etc., so I can try to recreate the error and fix it.
     Any assistance you can give is greatly appreciated.
