 The REMINDER system works in conjunction with VMS MAIL to provide an easy
avenue for sending yourself, or other users MAIL on a specified future date.
This Mail could be a reminder to yourself that you have a meeting on that
day, or notes to yourself for the day you return from a vacation, so it will
refresh your memory.  It has many uses.

2 Instructions
 To send a message, run REMINDER.  It works much like the VMS MAIL utility.
You shouldn't have much of a problem sending the message.  It does ask for
a date to send the message.  This date is in the form:
.LITERAL

	 DD-MMM-19YY

Example: 01-JAN-1988
.END LITERAL

REMINDER.DAT is the indexed data file that contains Reminder Mail.
 REMINDER is a program that a user runs to send himself or others mail.
It writes the Mail to REMINDER.DAT.
 REMINDERS.COM runs in a batch queue each morning.  It runs REMIND and
REMINDELETE.
 REMIND reads REMINDER.DAT to see if there's any mail waiting to be
sent to anyone on this date.  If so, it sends it using VMS MAIL.
 REMINDELETE reads REMINDER.DAT checking for mail for this date.  If it
finds any, it deletes it from the file.
