CONGRATULATIONS
You have just purchased a valuable and convenient tool that you will use day
in and day out for as long as you have to remember an appointment, birthday,
holiday, or any date for any reason. You will also have a complete record of
all appointments, expense records, family medical records, or any type of
information that you wish to keep a chronological record of.
"DateWorks" can be used as an:
APPOINTMENT BOOK
DIARY
EXPENSE LOG
FAMILY MEDICAL RECORD
DAILY REMINDER
T & E LOG
TIME LOG AND MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE.
And you can do it all within the incredibly flexible "AppleWorks" database.
What this means is that at a touch of a key or two you can find, sort,
format, add, delete, view, or print your information to suit YOUR specific
needs.
"DateWorks" is a group of "AppleWorks" data templates encompassing 12 years
of dates, days of the week and holidays. Each file gives you fields for
occasions and 24 appointment or reminder fields. You can also add any local
holidays, union holidays or anything you want in any field.
1. "DateWorks" is not copy protected. As with any valuable data or program
disk, the first thing you should do is make a backup copy. Use the
"DUPLICATE DISK" option on your system utilities for that purpose and store
your original in a safe place.
2. To add a "DateWorks" file to YOUR data disk use the "COPY FILES" option on
the System Utilities Disk. Another way to do this is to boot your
"AppleWorks" program and then insert your "DateWorks" disk into your data
drive. Bring the "DateWorks" file (year) that you want to the "desktop" in
the normal manner. After you have done this, remove the "DateWorks" disk
from the data drive and insert the data disk that you will be using. Using
option 3 of the "AppleWorks" Main Menu, put the "DateWorks" file on YOUR
data disk. CAUTION: DO NOT TRY TO COPY "DateWorks" FILES TO YOUR
"AppleWorks" PROGRAM DISK. "DateWorks" CONTAINS DATA FILES AND MUST GO ON
YOUR DATA DISK. For quick and easy access I suggest that you keep the
current "DateWorks" year on the "Desktop" whenever using "AppleWorks".
3. Your "DateWorks" screen looks like this in the "single record layout".:

The "DATE" and "DAY" fields contain data for the years 1986 thru 1997. The
"HOLIDAY" field contains all "legal" Holidays in effect at the time of the
latest version of "DateWorks" plus the more widely recognized holidays. You
may add any local, union, school or any holiday that effects you or your
geographical area. The "OCCASION" field is for entering birthdays,
anniversaries or any other occasion that you would not want to forget.
You may change the category names or any other part of the "DateWorks" screen
that you want to change. Use the "OPEN APPLE - N" to enter the "CHANGE
NAME/CATEGORY" screen and and follow the instructions on the screen. If you
need further help, press "OPEN APPLE ?" from the "REVIEW/ADD/ENTER" screen.
Here are some sample screens that you may use for different purposes:

These are only a few samples of the way you can change the screen to suit your
needs. Let your creativity and requirements be your guide. The possibilities
are virtually unlimited.
4, I have prepared 4 basic printer formats for you. You may want to prepare
your own. Refer to your Appleworks Manual for additional help in preparing
printer formats.
The four printer formats which I have prepared for you are:
APPOINTMENTS
HOLIDAYS
OCCASIONS
ALL ENTRIES
For each of the formats note the record selection rules on the top of the
"REPORT FORMAT" screen and you will see the criteria the format uses to
select the records. You may change the record selection rules from the
same menu simply by pressing "OPEN APPLE R" from the same screen.
A WORD ABOUT HOLIDAYS
I have researched holidays through a number sources and checked and double
checked my work until I was sure that the information was accurate. THINGS
CHANGE!! It is possible that new holidays may be added or the formulas used
to determine on what day a particular holiday be observed will be changed. I
STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE A MOMENT OR TWO AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH YEAR
TO COMPARE THE HOLIDAY SCHEDULE IN "DateWorks" WITH A CURRENT HOLIDAY
CALENDAR.
Everybody does not celebrate the same holidays. Depending on your religion,
geographical location, union membership, and various other factors, you may
choose to either observe or ignore the listed holidays. You may enter any
holiday in the "HOLIDAY" field and you can just as easily delete any holiday
that appears. Technically there are no national holidays in the United States.
Each of the states has jurisdiction over its holidays which are designated by
legislative enactment or executive proclamation. In practice however, most
states observe the Federal Public Holidays even though the President and
Congress can legally designate holidays only for the District of Columbia and
for Federal employees. When a holiday falls on a Sunday or a Saturday, it is
usually observed on the following monday or preceding Friday. For some
holidays, government and business closing practices vary. In most states, the
office of the Secretary of State can provide details of holiday closings.
In most states the following will be legal public holidays as of 1986:
NEW YEARS DAY PRESIDENTS DAY (WASHINGTONS BIRTHDAY)
MEMORIAL DAY INDEPENDENCE DAY
LABOR DAY COLUMBUS DAY
VETERANS DAY THANKSGIVING DAY
CHRISTMAS
I have also included holidays that are generally observed by most
geographical areas and religious faiths, they are:
LINCOLNS BIRTHDAY ST VALENTINES DAY
ST PATRICK'S DAY MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DAY
MOTHERS DAY ARMED FORCES DAY
MEMORIAL DAY FATHERS DAY
FLAG DAY VICTORIA DAY (CANADA)
CANADA DAY HALLOWEEN
ELECTION DAY ASH WEDNESDAY
PALM SUNDAY EASTER SUNDAY
GOOD FRIDAY UNITED NATIONS DAY
1ST DAY OF PASSOVER 1ST DAY OF ROSH HASHANA
YOM KIPPUR 1ST DAY OF HANUKKAH
The word "OBSERVED" is used next to holidays that do not occur on the
anniversary of the event or the anniversary of the persons birthday. Instead
they occur on a day that is designated by a pre-determined formula. For
example, Washingtons Birthday which is actually February 22 is always
celebrated on the 3rd Monday in February (PRESIDENTS DAY).
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT DATEWORKS OR THE APPLEWORKS DATABASE, PLEASE
DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL.
Very Truly Yours
