       PBCal (v2.00) - Calendar/Diary/PIM

         CAL is  a  free-form  intuitive  PIM  that CREATES order out of
       chaos.   It   will  actually  manage  all  schedules,  notify  of
       regularly  scheduled events, update "to-do" lists daily, and will
       easily  extract  and display virtually any type of information in
       an  organized  format.   CAL offers strong Blowfish encryption to
       protect  your  sensitive  diary.   CAL  offers 3 kinds of printed
       reports,   extensive   searching,   a   birthday  list,  and  any
       user-defined list.

       Changes:
         Added indexed search
         Added 'portable CAL'

       Shareware (US 20) or Cardware! P.C. Bel, pcbel@dds.nl

       CCAALL  is  a  free-form  intuitive  PIM  that  CREATES order out of
       chaos.

       CCAALL  is  shareware!  You can test it for 3 weeks. If you like it,
       pay for it!

       CCAALL  is easy to use, so this doc will be short:) Most information
       is available online with F1, but this doc will get you started.


 IINNSSTTAALLLLAATTIIOONN
       CCAALL  is  easy  to  install.  Run  'install.bat',  and CCAALL will be
       installed  to  'C:\CAL'  or any other directory you enter. If you
       are  upgrading  from  an  earlier version, you can simply install
       the new version over the old version.

 TTHHEE PPRROOGGRRAAMM
       CCAALL  is a combination of a calendar, diary and a PIM. You can use
       your  own  labeling system, so you can easily extract and display
       virtually  any  type  of information in an organized format. Read
       the  online help for more info on labels (Press F8 for the search
       function, enter some text, press Ok, then press F1 for help).

       The  program  uses  a  neat  Turbo-Vision  interface.  It is very
       simple  to  work  with. When you start the program you will start
       in the calendar. Navigate with the mouse and the keyboard.

       With  TAB (and Shift TAB) you can walk through the editors. Press
       F1 for a list of editing-keys.

       Although  the  program  works  fine  in  80x25  resolution  it is
       recommended  to  use  a  higher resolution, like 80x28 or higher.
       You  can  use  the  -l  switch  to change the number of lines, or
       change the configuration.

       Windows users can use the --winlines switch.

       CCAALL  is shareware. This means you can freely test the program for
       3  weeks.   If  you  continue to use it, after this trial-period,
       you'll  have  to  pay for it.  However, after 3 weeks the program
       still  works,  but  to  encourage you to register, there are some
       benefits when you pay.

       The  most  important  thing is the possibility to edit big memos.
       The  unregistered  version allows only a minimal 512 characters a
       day. The unregistered version also doesn't support word wrap.

       After   registration   the   full   potential,  more  then  65000
       characters a day, is available.

       All nag screens will be removed too, of course.

       The registration fee is 20 US$.

       You  can  now  register  online  at  hhttttpp::////oorrddeerr..kkaaggii..ccoomm//??JJ22 or

       pages.

       Or  you  send the money directly to me.  You can pay in any other
       currency  too:  Convert the US Dollar amount to your own currency
       using the most current (today's) exchange rate.

       Very  important!  DDoonn''tt  sseenndd cchheeqquueess pplleeaassee..  A 20 dollar cheque
       costs  me  9  bucks  to  cash  it. So just bills please. No coins
       either please, I can't cash them.

       If  you  don't  like  to  send money to programmers, if you don't
       like  to  pay  for  programs at all, send me a postcard from your
       hometown,  but  make  it a nice one! Add your email-address, so I
       can send you the registration key, good for 4096 letter a day.

           --winlines    <lines> any number between 26 and 32
           --ignorevideo Don't test number of lines, run anyway

       All switches can be specified 'Unix-like', so 'cal -cpt' is the
       same as 'cal -c -p -t' or 'cal --color --pending --today'.


       Most  of  these  switches  are self-explaining, but a few will be
       explained below:
       -t   Starts the program if there is anything today.
       -p   Starts  if  there  are  pending memos. This switch looks for
            memos and to do events only!
            Both -p and -t are very useful in autoexec.bat
            If  shift  is  down,  CAL  doesn't  check  for anything, and
            doesn't start.









       v 2.00                    - CAL.TXT -                           4


       -l   Starts  the  program  with  specified  number of lines. This
            works on EGA and VGA only.

       Lines| 25| 28| 29| 33| 43| 50|
       -----+---+---+---+---+---+---+
       EGA  | X |   | X |   | X |   |
       VGA  | X | X |   | X |   | X |
       -----+---+---+---+---+---+---+

       All  these modes can be set in the configuration, but the command
       line   switch  overrides  it.  There  are  of  course  much  more
       textmodes.  If  you  want  to  use  those,  set  the  mode before
       starting  CCAALL  .  Be sure to set the mode in the configuration to
       'Startup'.   If  you  want  to  use  extended  textmodes  with  a
       mode-number,  like  132x43,  use  the --vidmode <mode> switch. If
       <mode>  is  a hex-value use a '$'. For example --vidmode $54 sets
       my  videocard  to 132x43. Be careful. Do NOT use a random number,
       or the results will be very unpredictable:)

       --winlines
       With  this switch the number of lines of a dos-box in Windows can
       be  set.  This  doesn't  work in full-screen mode.  I only tested
       this  with Windows NT 3.51, if this works with Win95, Win 3.xx or
       maybe OS/2, please let me know.


 TTEECCHHNNIICCAALL
       CCAALL  stores its data in one file, 'default.cal', by default.  CCAALL
       looks for this file in the current directory.


 SSYYSSTTEEMM RREEQQUUIIRREEMMEENNTTSS
       CCAALL  needs about 200k free memory for the non-registered version.
       The  registered  version  needs more, depending on the 'user edit
       size'.  MS-DOS 3.3 or higher is required.

       CCAALL  runs  on any IBM-compatible PC. Only one diskdrive is needed
       to  run  the  program.  It is recommended to use a small cache to
       speed things up!


 UUPPGGRRAADDEESS
       The  newest  version  of CCAALL is always available at my home-page:

       I    will    upload    new    versions    of   CAL   to   SimTel.
       (/SimTel/msdos/deskaces/pbcalxxx,     where     xxx     is    the
       version-number)
       Use  ftp or a www-browser to download CAL from a mirror-site near
       you.

       If you can't find it, mail me for a UUencoded version.

       Taken  from BF-SDK.TXT, part of the Blowfish Software Development
       Kit:

       Blowfish  is  a  data encryption algorithm which was published in
       the  Dr.Dobb's Journal magazine, issue #213 on April 1994. It was
       developed  by  Bruce Schneier and is unpatented and placed in the
       public  domain.   In the September issue 1995 of DDJ Blowfish was
       (after  a  sponsored contest) still unbreaked.  The advantages of
       this  encryption  algorithm is its design for 32bit CPUs like the
       80386  and  above  achieving  an  excellent  performance  with  a
       maximum gain of security.

       The Blowfish implementation used in this software was done by:
