General Questions

  1. I just bought a new machine and transferred my files.  Now my registration key does not work.  What can I do?
    The registration key is sent to you in a "generic" form.  The key incorporates the unique machine ID of the machine you installed the application on.

    When you want to install this on a new machine, use the original registration key you were sent.  If your "Registration" selection on your menu is grayed out, type Ctrl-R to get to the registration screen.  Or delete the file
    "C:\System\Apps\APPLICATION\APPLICATION.ini" (substitute your applciation name for APPLICATION) and start your application again.

MonthMgr

  1. What is the current version of MonthMgr? 
    MonthMgr is currently at version 2.1.
  2. What is MonthMgr used for?
    The intention for MonthMgr is to provide a read-only viewer for Agenda files. No item addition or modification is provided in the current version. 
  3. Is MonthMgr integrated with the Agenda application? 
    Yes and no. MonthMgr uses a copy of the Agenda file that is specified by the preferences. When it senses that this copy needs to be updated it kills the Agenda app and rereads the Agenda file. This file checking occurs on startup and whenever MonthMgr comes to the foreground. 

    The Agenda app is also restarted after the file is copied, if the user makes this choice in the preferences dialog. 

    However, because of the design of Agenda, you cannot specify which Agenda file to start the application using. While tighter integration is desired, Agenda seems not to have been designed with integration in mind.

  4. How is "item filtering" used in MonthMgr? 
    The user can select which type of item to display in the calendar view by tapping the buttons labelled "A", "E", and "V" on the top of the calendar view. These manipulate appointments, events, and anniversaries, respectively. When a button is in the "pressed" stated, that particular item type is not displayed. 

    Filtering applies to the calendar view, day view, and printing.

  5. Why does MonthMgr ignore To Do list items? 
    We felt that there were enough items to cram into a calendar square, and that To Do list items were not specifically appropriate for a calendar view. We have another product -- TodoMgr -- for the display and manipulation of To Do list items.
  6. If I register MonthMgr, how long is that registration good? 
    The registration key that you get when you register MonthMgr is good for the life of the app. It also registers all future versions of the app for your machine. 
  7.  I have registered this product, but my time for the 30-day trial has run out. So the app shuts down on me. How can I enter my registration key?

    This will be made easier in the future. For now, there are two workarounds.  First, type Ctrl-R to get to the registration screen.  If this does not work, another  workaround is to delete the file "C:\System\Apps\MonthMgr\MonthMgr.ini". This will erase your preferences, but it will also allow you to enter your reg key.

TodoMgr

  1. What is the current version of TodoMgr?
    The current version of TodoMgr is version 1.1.
  2. What is TodoMgr used for?
    TodoMgr is a todo list manager that uses the todo lists from the Agenda application database. It adds features such as hierarchical list management, drag and drop, and list printing to the feature set from Agenda.
  3. Is TodoMgr integrated with the Agenda application?
    Yes and no. TodoMgr uses a copy of the Agenda file that is specified by the preferences. When it senses that this copy needs to be updated it kills the Agenda app and rereads the Agenda file. This file checking occurs on startup and whenever TodoMgr comes to the foreground.

    The Agenda app is also restarted after the file is copied, if the user makes this choice in the preferences dialog.

    However, because of the design of Agenda, you cannot specify which Agenda file to start the application using. While tighter integration is desired, Agenda seems not to have been designed with integration in mind.

  4. If I register TodoMgr, how long is that registration good?
    The registration key that you get when you register TodoMgr is good for the life of the app. It also registers all future versions of the app for your machine.

AgnDump

  1. What is the current version of AgnDump?
    The current version of AgnDump is 1.0.
  2. What is the purpose of AgnDump?
    AgnDump is a simple application that reads in the Agenda file that the user specifies and reformats it into an ASCII (human-readable) file.  This is done according to user specifications.
  3. What relation does the "Format" field have with the "Text" field?
    The "Format" field simply suggests certain formats.  It's there because there are certain formats that might be used frequently.  Even after the "Format" field fills in the "Text" field, the user may change the "Text" field any way he/she wishes.
  4. What is the price of AgnDump?
    AgnDump is freeware, that is, it is available free of charge.
