I have perused the pd1:<msdos.deskaccess> directory at simtel looking
for a simple, yet powerful, calendar/journal program. My major complaints
with the ones I saw which were designed to do such a task are that they
are either too cumbersome, involving special installations (like hardwired
directories, blechh!!) or demanding extreme dexterity to use (poor use of
the keyboard); or they limit the amount of information which can be stored
for a specific day either with a size limit or with a horrid editor.
Does anyone know of a program with the following properties:
1. No stupid installation procedures. Either too simple to need
installation or smart enough to allow reasonable flexibility, specifically
location of binaries & data files in user specifiable manner.
2. Simple interface including:
a. Overall month and/or week view of schedule with the ability to
"zoom" in on a specified date.
b. "Zoom" would involve relatively unlimited capacity for
information in either a simple editor which doesn't bother the user
with margins, or even the invocation of an external editor.
That's it. Any other features would be ok as long as they don't get in the
way. Hope I'm not asking for too much.
