JAR (Just A Reminder) v2.1 
==========================

JAR is a Windows program to remind you of events you may forget.
This program was written in Visual Basic 3.0, so you need to have 
the file VBRUN300.DLL in your \windows\system directory.  
There are 4 files included in this ZIP file.

  - jar.exe: This is the Windows executable that can be run from anywhere.
  - jar.txt: The file you are reading now.
  - jar.dat: Sample data file for "jar.exe" to read
  - file_id.diz : A description of the ZIP file.
	

Just copy both "jar.exe and "jar.dat" to the same directory, and edit
the "jar.dat" file with any ascii editor.  Here's the format:

	XX YY "<comment>"   Where XX is the month and YY is the day

Here is an example: 06 22 "Robs Birthday"

NOTE: put quotes around the <comment> so the program will read the
rest of the line (like in the example). The 1st line of the file "jar.dat"
will not be read by the program.  It is used for a comment.

You can have as many entries in this file as you like, just make sure each
one is on a new line.

Now, add the program "jar.exe" to your "startup" folder so Windows will run
it everytime you start up.  If the month matches, and its either 1 week away,
3 days away or the same day, you will get a dialog to remind you.  It will
display the <comment> parameter from the "jar.dat" file.  The program will 
just exit if none of those cases are true.
		

Legal Stuff
===========

 The programmer cannot accept responsibility for any damages that may be
 incurred by the use of JAR.


Release Info
============
 
 - The major difference between v1.0 and v2.0 is the fact that this one takes
   into account leap year, and v2.0 works if your day month is in the
   beginning of the month. 
 - Version 2.1 fixed a minor bug in the total number of days in the year
   when it was leap year.  
 - Version 2.2 E-Mail address change, cleaned up code to run faster.
