ZephyrSoft

A while ago, I created a small Java tool which runs on my computer at login time, checks my address database for birthdays and displays the information. At that time, I used ABC as address manager in a local install, and the reminder got its data from the underlying MySQL database. Then I moved on and bought a PalmOne Treo, so my ABC install and my old birthday checker slightly got out of sync. Now I have rewritten the reminder application to take its data from my synchronized Palm database, and here it is! The library functions of jSyncManager made it a lot easier.
Attention: As I was not satisfied with the built-in birthday field, I used the first custom field and NOT the field "birthday"! Sometimes I don't know the year, but in the standard birthday field, I would be forced to enter one. Plus when I generate birthday markers for the whole year using Feiertage for Palm OS this doesn't matter anyway - it can use any field.

There is no release of this software right now, but you can easily obtain the source code including all necessary libraries via Subversion (SVN). If you have a UNIX-like OS, SVN is possibly already installed. In this case execute the following command in the directory where you want the sources to go to:

svn co https://zephyrsoft.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zephyrsoft/trunk/pdbtool

If you are running a different OS, refer to your SVN client's manual and use this login data (list of SVN client programs):

• Hostname: zephyrsoft.svn.sourceforge.net
• Port: 443
• Protocol: HTTPS
• Repository Path: /svnroot/zephyrsoft/pdbtool
• Authentication: There is no password for read access (just hit the enter key when prompted for a username or a password).
