We have fixed all known problems and added a lot more functionality as noted above. We believe the program to be bug free and fully functional. We and others have been using it for months without problems. Since this is the second release, we encourage any feedback as to what you would like to see in future versions, and also any bugs or problems with the program. While the hard copy manual is still being edited and will be sent to registered customers, complete online documentation is available in the installation directory as REMINDER.HLP. You can view the help file by using Windows WinHelp or pressing the F1 key while in Windows Reminder. REGISTRATION REMINDERS Unlicensed copies of Windows Reminder are 100% fully functional. Unlicensed copies of Windows Reminder have a pesky registration reminder screen that pops up whenever you start the program. We're sure that once you see the incredible quality of our software, you will dig out your credit card, pick up the phone, call the nice people at our 800 number and register Windows Reminder. When you pay for the shareware you like, you are voting with your pocketbook, and will encourage us to bring you more of the same kinds of products. Pay for what you like, and voila, more of what you like will almost magically be developed. LEGAL MATTERS Of course the usual disclaimers still apply. We are not responsible for anything at all.
