Readme.txt to accompany compressed archive of WPlanit PerfectScript personal calendaring application:

Do NOT follow standard macro installation procedure, which would be to take the files in the WPlanit folder out of that folder and then paste them directly into your default WordPerfect macro directory! In this case, the entire folder itself (the folder named "WPlanit"), with all the files remaining inside it, must be placed in the default macros directory. When you wish to run the macro, you'll need to navigate into the WPlanit folder and select the cassette icon entitled "WPlanit.wcm", or if you have Windows set to hide file extensions, it'll appear as just plain "WPlanit".

For more detailed installation instructions, and for complete directions on using WPlanit, please see the tutorial inside the "WPlanitTutorial" folder, included in both *.wpd and *.pdf formats.

My email address (as of March 2008) is mlfitzhu@wustl.edu. However, all the information you need to install, run, and use WPlanit is found in the 38-page tutorial (and in some rare cases, in the macro code in the first 5 or so pages of the macro, which can be viewed by using WordPerfect to open WPlanit.wcm as a regular document or right-clicking on WPlanit.wcm and choosing "Edit"). Therefore you should not need to contact me, except perhaps to report a bug that I don't list in the tutorial's "Bugs" section (I probably won't fix the bug, but in case I win the lottery and suddenly have lots of leisure time, it would be nice to know about any that I haven't already recognized). 

Emails about any issue covered in the tutorial or in the macro comments will simply be ignored (i.e. deleted without answering). I know that some users don't like to read tutorials--they'd rather just jump in and use the application--but it took me a long time to write both WPlanit and its documentation, and I'm not going to repeat work that I've already done. If you read the tutorial thoroughly and still don't understand something even after some trial and error involving the application itself, your misunderstanding probably goes deeper than WPlanit and instead involves WordPerfect itself (or PerfectScript, the macro programming language). Either way, you'll need to look elsewhere to find your answers. And DO NOT ask any questions of Barry McDonnell, who is very generously hosting WPlanit on his site. He didn't write the macro and knows little more about it than you do.

Note: WPlanit has been tested on Win98 and Win2000 with WP8 and WP12, respectively. WPlanit should also work with WP9, 10, 11, and X3 as well as on Windows XP, but there's no guarantee of that (and if it doesn't, I do not currently have the time to make it do so). In addition, its chances of working on Windows Vista are much lower, so if you're using Vista and you want to try WPlanit, be prepared.
