What is AllDay?
AllDay is an application to produce all kinds of calendrical information in the context of a year overview. It is meant as a complement to scheduling and planning software. It is to cope with the basics of calendar computing rather than scheduling or planning tasks.

System requirements
  • Version 1.4.2 (not tested, it's from the manual)
  • Version 1.6.0 (tested with version 1.6.0ga5)


AllDay on an eComStation machine with Open JDK


Installing AllDay
Download allday_1_0_1.zip and if you want allday_user_docs_1_0.zip. Make a directory/map with the name "allday". Open the zip file and copy everything to the new created directory. That's it!

The used cmd file
AllDay works with Open JDK in OS/2-eCS. I have a "allday.cmd" file with the following contents; 
@echo off
SET CLASSPATH= 
SET BEGINLIBPATH=[drive: java]\JAVA160ga5\bin
SET path=[drive: java]\JAVA160ga5\bin
[drive: allday]
cd [drive: allday]\allday
java -Duser.home=[drive: allday]\allday -jar allday.jar 2>allday-bugs.txt
I use 2 separate folders (directories), one for Java and one for AllDay with the files created by this program. The references used in the cmd file;

  • [drive: java] = drive with Java
  • [drive: allday] = drive with AllDay

should be replaced with real drive letters. Save the file and name it "allday.cmd" or use the file from the distribution. This file is copied to the "allday" directory/map. Furthermore, different paths?, adjust according to your needs.
Create a new program object. Specify the path and file name: "[drive: allday]\allday\allday.cmd". In the tabpage Session check the boxes "OS/2 window", "Running as an icon" and "Close Window to end program". In the tabpage General you can enter the name "AllDay". I have added an OS/2 icon in the distribution.

Parameters / options explained
  • The addition "2>allday-bugs.txt" ensures that errors are saved in the file "allday-bugs.txt". The 2 in "2>" is not a typo! The file stays empty!

Download
In the file you can find the above command file (all drive letters are on set to C:) and an OS/2 AllDay icon: allday-ecs.zip.
