Calendar (C) by Gerhard W. Gruber in Germany 2004

Calendar is a small reminder utillity with the abillity to also handle bills. You
can add bills and you can immediately see how much you have to pay i.e. per month.
Bills will not trigger a dialogbox when they are due because I thought it doesn't 
make sense in this case. Instead they are silently rescheduled for the next cycle
if they are already payed, or they are copied if they are not payed and you can 
see which ones are old by the colour.

Calendar also features a repeatlimit, something I find very usefull but havent seen
in any other tool so far. This is very usefully i.e. for keeping track of loans where
you have to pay a limited amount of monthly wages. You can either specify a number
(i.e. repeat 60 times once per month) or you can specify a limit date (the wage is 
last payed on a certain date).

To Install calendar reminder simply put it in a directory of your convenience and
run it. It doesn't create any registry entries and if you don't like it, you can 
simply get rid of it by deleting t.

If you start it the first time you will get an error message, but you can ignore it.

You can download the most current version from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/desktoptools from the CVS. On the site are instructions
on how to use CVS in case you don't know it. If you download the CVS version you will 
have to compile it yourself. You will also need a wxWindows/wxWidgets library installed
in order to compile it.

If you want to download the binary you can also find the most recent version there. If
you downloa other tools from my project I recommend to download the dynamically linked
version and also download the wxWindows pre-compiled binary DLL. If you prefer to have
an application wich is completly on it's own then you can download the statically linked
version which requires no additional DLLs.

You can also download the source archive, but this always reflects the binary version. To
get the most current version you will have to use CVS.
