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. These are: - Open Mode From here you can open the chary at a particular month, go to the miscellaneous mode or open the notepad Standby Mode. This lets you examine and edit the diary, search through a month (or a particular string, go to the notepad ex the miscellaneous menu Choosing the day of the diary you wish to examine is accomplished by moving a cursor around a calendar on-screen.
- Editor Mode. When you are in the nght day. you will naturally have to first put in your information Editing is simple, the cursor keys move you around the page (about 150 wards) to put in your times and dates You can also sort them by the first four characters of each line, so it's easy to get things in time carder.
- Miscellaneous Mode. Most ol the housekeeping tasks are available from here These include changing the time and date, cataloguing and erasing files, changing the front end password, clear the text screen, and searching for a particular word or number.
- Notepad Mode. This provides an extra 31 pages in which to write notes These are saved with the diary when you select the shut item There is also a transient memopad available which cannot be saved.
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. AA

Page créée en 551 millisecondes et consultée 2306 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
