You can specify how near a date must be in order for it to get a reminder. The default is 10 days. By default, dates are displayed in dd/mm/yyyy format but US date format can also be displayed using a command-line option. I find it quite handy to put it in a startup script so that it gets run every time I login and reminds me of upcoming birthdays, work deadlines, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Installation: This should consist of simply typing 'make' in the source directory and then if all goes well, type 'make install' to copy the files to their final locations. Type 'make install.man' to install the man page. You may want to take a look at the Makefile first to modify the directories if they do not suit you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You can get in contact with the author Charles O.
