     This  archive  contains  the reminder program Message, including

     the doc file and fully commented assembler source code.



            --------------------- MESSAGE ---------------------



     MESSAGE  is  a  reminder  program  which  repeats  back to you a

     message after a specified number of minutes.  A typical example

     would be to "Turn off the sprinkler" after 15 minutes.



     This  is  version two of a very simple program.  Version one was

     written  in Pascal, was WB2+ only, and was missing a function I

     needed.  Here is the assembly version!



     It's  smaller,  faster  and  should  hum  along on all breeds of

     Amigas.



     MESSAGE has two windows.  The first has a string gadget in which

     you can type a message of up to 128 characters.



     There  is  also  a  "minutes"  gadget which will take an integer

     value  of up to 9999 minutes (about 7 days).  You quit from this

     "entry"  window  by  either  selecting  the  "OK" gadget, which

     activates  the  timer,  or  by clicking the close window gadget

     which halts the program.



     After  your  designated  time,  the message window will pop up.

     This window has your message inside.  At this time, all screens

     should "flash" and your machine should "beep".



     You  can  either  quit from this window by selecting "OK" or the

     close   gadget,   both  of  which  will  halt  the  program,  or

     alternatively  you  may request a "REPEAT" of the message, which

     will restart the timer.



     I  hope that you find this program useful.  If not, feel free to

     use it as a pot plant holder.  If it stomps all over your Amiga,

     I'm sorry, but you use it at your own risk!



     This  program  is  FREEWARE, as is the source code.  Copy it and

     enjoy it.
