Title: Biorhythms 2.0 Description: Definitive graphical biorhythm program for EPOC Author: Richard Smedley Home page: http://www.cix.co.uk/~rsmedley/s5/ INTRODUCTION ============ Biorhythms allow you to predict how you (or anyone else!) will be feeling on any particular date. To make a prediction for somebody, all you need to know is their birthday. Predictions can be made for any date in the past, present or future. This program will even interpret the charts for you, to tell you what they mean in real terms. Also includes a comparison feature, allowing you to compare how two people will be feeling on any particular date to see how similar they are. INSTALLATION ============ This program is fully compatible with all EPOC machines, including Psion S5/5mx, Revo, S7, Oregon Scientific Osaris, etc. Charts are shown in full colour on machines with colour screens. Installation uses approx 36K of disk space. Simply select BIORHYTHMS.SIS to install it on your Psion, and everything should be installed for you automatically. Biorhythms uses the following additional modules, which are supplied with the program as SIS files: AGENDA2.SIS (Agenda2.opx V5.0, by Symbian Ltd) SYSRAM1.SIS (Sysram1.opx V1.0, by Symbian Ltd) If you haven't installed these on your system yet, or if you are using earlier versions of these modules, then you will need to install them before you can use Biorhythms. Again all you need to do is select their SIS files and they will be installed automatically.

Agenda2.opx and Sysram1.opx are Copyright (C) Symbian Ltd, 1997-1999. VERSION HISTORY =============== (Most recent changes first...) V2.0 (29.01.00) - Major rewrite of the source code. - New function: Critical days can now be exported into an Agenda file. (Select "Export to Agenda" in the File menu). - New function: Added a "View/Today" menu function, which jumps instantly to a chart for todays date. (Shortcut key=Space) - New function: Added a "View/Show toolbar" menu function, which allows you to toggle the toolbar on/off. - In the birthday database, the names are now sorted into alphabetical order. - Bug fix: The Birthday database was not Y2K compatible. Fixed. - Bug fix: On colour machines, the chart axis would sometimes be drawn in blue instead of black after changing chart types. V1.5 (05.11.99) - Charts are now displayed in full colour on machines with colour screens. - Rewrote the routines which draw the charts, so that they now resize correctly to *any* screen size. - New prefs option: Week separators can now be displayed on the charts. - Changed the short-cut keys for scrolling the charts. Pressing Ctrl-Arrow now scrolls a week at a time, and Func-Arrow scrolls a month at a time. - Minor changes to the interpretation dialogs, for compatibility with the Psion Revo. V1.4 (04.09.99) - Now compatible with Oregon Scientific Osaris. - New prefs option: Age can now be displayed as age in years/months, as well as age in days. - Numerous improvements to the menu layout & GUI. - Minor updates to some of the interpretation messages. - Various minor bug fixes. - Now supplied as an SIS file. V1.3 (22.05.99) - Biorhythm charts can now be printed. - Added some interpretation messages for double-critical days (eg. when physical & emotional critical days occur together). - Bug fix: The program wouldn't accept any dates after 08/12/1999. Oops! This is now fixed. - The "Registration code" menu function is now removed from the menu after you have registered. - The old "compatibility charts" have been renamed as comparison charts. Strictly speaking, comparison is an entirely different thing to compatibility, and it was a little bit misleading for me to call the comparison charts compatibility charts! - Bug fix: There were a couple of minor bugs in the event loop. Fixed. V1.2b (01.09.98) - Bug fix: The menus couldn't be activated using the pen. Now fixed. V1.2a (20.08.98) - Bug fix: Due to a bug in one of the system OPX's, entering certain dates (eg. 15/12/1996) as either the birthday or plot date would make the program crash with an Out Of Range error. Now fixed. V1.2 (15.08.98) - Now supports compatibility charts, allowing you to see how compatible two people are. - Changed the menu layout again, to make it conform more closely to the standard EPOC32 guidelines. - Tidied up the button-labels in the dialog requesters. - Replaced the "Close" icon on the toolbar with a "Chart type" icon, for changing the display between the two types of chart. V1.1 (25.07.98) - Now requires SYSRAM1.OPX (included). - Designed some icons for the toolbar buttons. - Changed the menu layout and keyboard shortcuts, to conform to the standard EPOC32 guidelines. - Bug fix: The program now remembers the last menu item selected. - The weekdays are now displayed on the x-axis of the biorhythm chart, as well as the actual dates themselves. - Changed the format of the birthday and plot date displayed below the chart. In particular, the weekday name is now shown - useful if you want to know which day of the week someone was born on! - Added "OK" buttons to all the message dialogs. V1.0 (16.07.98) - The first release.
