Birthday Reminder

Birthday Reminder has only one simple task, that is to

remind you of Birthdays (and a little extra).

This is the windows version of our succesful DOS-version

HAPPY.EXE  which proved very popular in both

domestic and office-environments.

Many network-administrators liked the idea of giving

a little service on this subject so, here we are, on the

windows platform.

One uses BATHAPPY to enter new birthdays or other

festivities.

The actual reporting is done by the Birthday-launcher 'HapLauncher'.


HapLauncher

HapLauncher is the work-horse of Birthday Reminder

HapLauncher reads the birthday file and launches all events

to the screen.

It is a good idea to keep the HapLauncher in your

Windows startup group so you will not miss out on

birthdays.

The search-scope and soundoption of the Launcher

may be set in the BATHAPPY options menu.

Past events appear in red

current day events appear in blue

future events appear in green


Launcher Options

Search-scope

By default the Launcher only looks for birthdays for

the current day. On a monday it additionally reports

birthdays that took place during the weekend.

You  can arrange for the Launcher to look for a fixed

number of days ahead or back, according to your needs.

The number of days should be between the range of

0-31 days.

Sound option

When set on, the launcher plays a familiar happy tune

through the systems speaker whenever it has something

to report for the current day. It does not stir for past or

future events.

We have learned that especially office-users particulary

like this option.

However, it can be switched off if you want the Launcher

to be silent.

BatHappy itself does not use the sound-option, however,

you can test the tempo in the Launcher-settings to make

it sound as you think it should.
