ToDo List Viewer 1.82

for Windows95/NT4 and PalmPilots

This little program puts your todo list on your desktop.  It adds an icon 
in the system tray which allows you to create a new 'list'.  Each list
can show a single category of your todo items.  Everything is color-coded
to quickly see what you need to do.


note: you will need the VB5.0 runtime files.  I don't provide these since they're 
SOOO huge and many people already have them.  Try running this, it may work,
but if some error message pops saying, "Cannot find blah.dll" then you need the 
vb runtime files.  You can get these files by following a link on my site: 
http://www.ziplink.net/~steve_x/mystuff/pilot.shtml 
or simply search for them on www.shaareware.com or similar sites.


To use:

when you first run the program it will prompt you for the location of your
TODO.DAT file.  This file is located in your pilot user directory, 
usually: C:\Pilot\(username)\ToDo\ . Once the file is selected, you now 
should double-click on its icon in the system tray (to the left of the clock)
and a new window (the list) will appear.  right click or double-click on the 
window and a settings dialog box will popup.  In this settings box, you can change
all the properties of the list.  Most of it is self-explainatory.  A preview window
shows what the list will look like.  To change the colors, either double-click 
on the text in the sample window, or on the coresponding color.  The Show check, 
show due date and show priority check boxes allow you to tell the program not to 
display that object in that particular list. The hide checked makes all checked
items not be displayed in the list.  So far, the sort method cannot be changed and 
there is no font control.  Check back at either my site or www.pilotgear.com for
the latest version.

If you right-click on the icon in the tray and select reload, you can force the 
program to reload the data from the TODO.DAT.  Pressing F5 in a list reloads also.  
This can be useful for after you hotsync to load the new data into the lists. 

This is the first Windows95/NT4 program for the PalmPilot that I have distributed 
to other Pilot users.  I hope that all who use find it helpful and useful.

This program is freeware.  I really don't like those annoying nag screens and 
timeouts, so I refuse to make any myself.  If you REALLY, REALLY like it and want 
to give me what you think this product should be worth (no pennies, please :-) )
any donations would be appreciated.
