Dear Diary... Can a computer diary help organise Pat McDonald's life, or reviews? Tasman has been around for a good while now. and have produced the excellent Tas-word wordprocessor. Tas-Spell checkers, screen copieis and prait utilities. With thai sort of a track record much is expected of one of their latest products - Tas-Diary Now, it may seem that a paper diary is much more convenient than a computer one Alter all. you don't need to switch it on. or make sure you have the right disk, or fiddle about with passwords etc. All you have to do is pick it up, consult it and add to it. Where electronic diaries score is that they are more secure, much tidier and generally have a lot more space to write in. The comparison is similar to that between a wardprocessor and a typewriter. Tasdkny is supplied (an disk only) in the usual slimline Tasman pack with an A5 sized manual The diary works by dividing itself into months, only one month of a particular year, between 1753 and 2100. may be accessed at a time. Each month has the requisite number of days displayed on a calendar, and each day can store up to 974 characters. Thoughts for the day When first loaded, a six figure alphanumeric password must be entered before the program will allow you past this point The manual gives a short but thorough examination of the programs different parts.

On screen presentation is. I believe, a distinct improvement over former Tasman offerings The manual is well laid out and I cannot seriously fault it. Indeed the only point ol the whole package I can quibble about is the editor which lacks a true insert mode. It also lists a good few examples of diaries personal, business appointments, menus and financial. There you have it. the best of its type that I've yet seen If you're looking for a flexible program which can be used for professional or personal diaries, look no further.
