DESCRIPTION
--------------

Stop forgetting important events like birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, calls and meetings.

xReminder Pro is an elegant-looking event-based personal
information manager that can help you remember
birthdays, holidays and other special events.
It starts automatically with Windows and minimizes
to the system tray from which you can create new reminders
in a few mouse clicks.
All reminders are listed in the main window.
You can view them simultaneously, or choose between daily,
weekly or monthly screens. When you have many events you
can use the filter to display particular reminders. Each
view can be printed for use away from the computer.
You can also search any text in the reminders database.
The way you set up reminders is the same for all events.
Each reminder that you set can include a description,
some notes, and the date and time. You can specify
the time at which the reminder should precede the actual event
and actual duration of the reminder. The program provides
very flexible recurrence patterns for almost any reminder type.
You can have xReminder play a WAV or MIDI file or just beep the PC's
speaker. 
You can create your own event types with different fonts, colors, 
icons, etc.
When the reminder window appears you can choose to accept
the event (this will shut it off, but not delete from the list)
or hit a snooze button. The snooze can be set to go off
again at a specified number of minutes, hours, days, or weeks.
The event can also be deleted or modified from this window.
The program also has some useful features like countdown and
stop-watch timers. Great for people who are charged an hourly
rate by their Internet Service Provider.
Other options include: import-export of data in native and commonly
used file formats, pop-up calendar that easy to access from the system
tray, print preview, etc...

Year 2000 compliant.

INSTALLATION
------------

Important! If you've got xReminder Pro not from our web page, but from
the other source (some software library), please
visit our home page - you'll probably find the later version;
usually, we release the updates about once a month.

To install xReminder Pro, just run the "setup.exe" and follow the
instructions. You'll need to select the target directory.

SETUP will automatically:
- create an icon for xReminder Pro in your Start-Up folder
- install the required files to a directory of your choice 
( C:\Program Files\xReminder Pro\ by default )

xReminder Pro is self-contained and requires no DLL's. It therefore
makes minimal changes to your system.
