| There is one known problem:
If one selects Word for Windows as one's "note" application (using the
"Preferences" screen), it will fail if WINWORD.EXE is not in the path.
Fix: either put in path, or copy to a directory in the path. This will
be fixed in next release. (The same actually applies to Write and
Notepad, but since these are by default in the Windows directory, and
that directory is in the path, there should not be a problem. Next
release will, however, check this).

| Here's the "readme" from the kit:
TDL X.125
~~~~~~~~~
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
TDL is a program designed to help you maintain a list of "to do" items.
These items can be deleted, saved, rescheduled, edited, have alarms, notes
or telephone numbers associated, and lots more. A fuller list of features
is given below.
Environment
~~~~~~~~~~~
TDL needs Windows 3.1.
Features
~~~~~~~~
TDL includes the following functionality:
o Postponing of items by a given number of days, or until
a specific date
o Closing of items, which are saved for later reports, etc
o Permanent deleting of items
o Editing of items
o Alarms attached to items
o Notes attached to items
o Maintenance of a telephone number database, with the ability
to associate a telephone number with an item
o Prioritisation of items
o Notification of overdue items
o The ability to handle multiple databases open simultaneously (a
"database" in this context is a list of related items. For
example, you may have a list of to do items for project X, another
for project Y, and a third list of personal to do items).
o The ability to assign meaningful (non-8.3) names to databases
o The ability to automatically load given databases on startup, and
to determine which one will be displayed by default
o Extensive customisation options
