Calendar Marker Version 2.0, Oct 4th, 1995
A utility for the Newton Dates Application
  ==========================================

NOTE!!! ==> $10 Shareware <== NOTE!!
(but free to registered 1.x users - thanks for paying!)

New In Version 2.0:

* Must be installed on internal store (*NOT* on a card) to
  avoid the grip of death.

* Faster operation! The full display now is computed in
  under 2 seconds, less depending on what options you enable. 
  This is due to the use of NTK 1.5 and selective displays.

* User configurable: Prefs app can configure CM to
  display week numbers, meetings,
  repeating meetings, day notes, repeating day notes, and
  either Boxed or Underlined day notes.
  
* Works with older (1.05 and 1.11) Newton software to display
  dates correctly in non-US locals. If the display of days is
  incorrect, select "Weeks start on Monday" in the prefs app.

* Prefs app can be removed from Newton once preference are
  selected.
  
* Only works with current Newtons running OS 1.3x, 1.11, 1.05,
  etc. We'll see what happens when 2.0 comes out!
  
Do you ever wish you could tell when you have meetings
and anniversaries (day notes), just by glancing at the
small calendar displayed in the upper right corner of
the Dates display? You know, just like those $50 pocket
organizers that put boxes around anniversary dates, and
little marks at the top or bottom of a day with a
meeting in the morning or afternoon?

Calendar Marker does just that! Every time you open the
Dates application, it swiftly checks for any and all day
notes and meetings in the current month. It also does
this check when you change or make a new appointment, or
select a new day to view. It then draws a box around any
day with a day note, and places a small line to the left
of any day with a meeting. A line is drawn near the top
of a day with one or more morning meetings, while a line is
drawn near the bottom for one or more afternoon meetings.

You can now see just how over-committed you are in a month!

What about Week numbers? 

Calendar Marker displays those to the left of the month. It
counts the first week in a year with more than 3 days as week
1. If the first week in a year has 3 or fewer days in it,
it is numbered the same a the last week of the previous year.
If the last week in a year has fewer than 4 days in it, it is
numbered 1. Those are the rules.

  ==========================================
About the packages: 

Calendar Marker (CalMarkr.pkg) is an AutoPart, so it does not
show up in your extras drawer. It uses almost no Heap at all
(meaning you won't get "out of memory" messages because of
it!). It's very inexpensive!

Calendar Marker Prefs (CMPrefs.pkg) is a regular application that will show up in your extras
drawer. You use it to enable/disable the various CM options:

* Show Week Numbers: If checked, week numbers are displayed
* Weeks Start on Monday: If checked, draws all marks correctly
	for Dates apps that display the first day of the week as
	Monday (ie, European Dates) - Most times, CM will detect
	this with the current (1.3x) operating system. If it
	doesn't for your Newton, just check this box!
* Show Meetings: Master on/off switch to show repeating and
	non-repeating meetings
	* Non-Repeating: Enable/Display non-repeating meetings
	* Repeating: Enable/Display repeating meetings (slower)
* Show Day Notes: Master on/off switch to show repeating and
	non-repeating Day Notes
	* Non-Repeating: Enable/Display non-repeating Day Notes
	* Repeating: Enable/Display repeating Day Notes (slower)
	* Draw Box: If checked, a box is drawn for Day Notes, 
		otherwise the date is underlined (I like underlined!)

  ==========================================
Installing Calendar Marker: 

If you currently have an old version of CM installed, remove
it before installing this version.

Use your favorite package installer to install CalMarkr.pkg
and CMPrefs.pkg on your Newton. It will work when installed on
a card, but it will cause the "grip of death". I had to make
this change because it would use too much heap otherwise. Once
you have your pref set the way you like them, you can remove
the CMPrefs.pkg package.

Calendar Marker will work with other calendar packages 
(such as Action Names & Agenda) if you install it AFTER 
those packages.

If you delete AN&A, you should reset your Newton so CM can
start working again. If you have AN&A installed on a card, put
CM on the card AFTER AN&A. This is a limitation of the Newton
operating system and an inherent danger in patching existing
applications.

What's New in 1.2

Week numbers. They're even computed correctly if you're
in Europe. I've also speeded up CM a bit. When you select a
different day in the same month, CM just re-displays the
previously computed marks.

What's New in 1.1 (bugs! gahhh!) :

Corrected a bug that caused problems for people with
Calendar Marker (CM) and Action Names and Agenda (AN&A)
installed.
This is a problem, since both packages try to patch
the same part of the Dates application. While I cannot
fix AN&A, what I can do is make sure that CM will work if
you install it AFTER AN&A. If you delete AN&A, you should
reset your Newton so CM can start working again. If you
have AN&A installed on a card, put CM on the card AFTER
AN&A. This is a limitation of the Newton operating system
and an inherent danger in patching existing applications.

Corrected a bug that prevented Calendar Marker from
correctly calculating the date when the Newton is not
in a US locale (thanks to Nils Segerdahl for reporting
this bug and pointing out the specific problem!). 

Corrected a bug that caused the wrong days to be hilighted
if you happen to not start your months on Sunday (thanks
to Michael Schmidl reporting this bug.) Our friends in
Europe should like this version better!
