Nice list, I wish there were descriptions of the programs.

If you click on the "Powered By Freeware Guide.de" logo it takes you to the
home page. From there, you can get individual descriptions--in German.

what a great idea!

Hello,

what a great idea!

not new, but when I made this, I wasn't aware of these rareware
sites already around. It's in fact just a interface to some
downloads I wanted to link from my real site ;-)

If you link to files, please use dl.php and maybe send me a
mail about...

Thanks,
Thorsten

"Flexi alarm 1.1
Through roof width unit a program for the memory of dates."

Not sure my pc is big enough for that one. Trouble with most of those
is they do the date bnut not the time, thus making themselves not very
useful.

would have been nice to tell us where you got that quote from.
I don't know, it's not in the readme.txt and I have not installed
that tool at the moment. But I used it myself for a long time
and really found it useful (now I switched everything to the
payware that syncs with my mobile: Outlook). As far as I remember
it supports not only dates. Where's your info from, must I
install again to look after?

Regards,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten. The quote was a google translation of a german site
offering the file. I didnt keep the addy. Clearlya case of machine
translation.

Does this one do times as well as dates? If so it would be most useful.
I've tried so many that lack this obvious necesary feature I've just
about given up trying them. The only one I've found that does time of
day as well as dates is the cybermatrix one. That has 2 prolbems:
1. occasionally it gives a reminder on the wrong date, bit of a major
fault there
2. It wont order stored events, so the event list soon becomes a right
mess.

Its failure to display any date or time in the events list is esily got
round by putting those in the event title.

I'm not sure what you need meow, but I use an app called Minireminder
It simply opens on startup (in my case), and displays appointments for a
presettable number of days ahead.

You can enter stuff up to a (I guess) year ahead, nice for dental
appointments.

It is perfect for me, but doesn't *do* anything!

I really cannot find what could have caused this stupid translation.

useful.

I must say, I tried but the program does not install. I don't know,
maybe I used it last time on my former Win98SE system, my current
Win2000 does not show any action when starting setup.exe. I'll
remove this program from my FreewareGuide.de ASAP.

I've tried so many that lack this obvious necesary feature I've
just about given up trying them.

Right now I don't have an answer, but I think you should start
a new thread in this group describing your needs in detail.

Thorsten

Yes, that is a very good proggy. Initially, in the earlier versions it
was just doing birthdays but now it has been made to cover all types
of reminders. And it is small and uses little resources.

Could that have been Birthday Reminder by CJ Weiske?

I used it for years, (for everything) but the latest version doesn't run on
my computer, so I tried minireminder, which in some ways is better.

Minirminder has calendar date entry, which is nice. But it doesn't have
autocomplete, which is quite useful as most of my dates fall into
"birthday" or "event". Or the looming circles of doom, or the ability to
open another file for another user.

But I still like it better - that calendar entry is the killer feature

Nice looking little program. And it's listed at Snapfiles:

so I know it's safe.
