-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Versions 1.0 and 1.0a of Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows allow automatic
recovery of a calendar file if it detects an abnormality in the file upon
starting Schedule+. If an abnormality is found, Schedule+ creates a new file
named RECOVER.CAL in the directory where the SCHEDULE.EXE file resides.

To view the recovered information from the RECOVER.CAL file, do the following:

1. From the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

2. On the Run line, type SCHDPLUS.INI and press ENTER.

3. Under the [Microsoft Schedule+] line, type the following line:

  StartupOffLine=1

4. Save the changes and exit from Notepad.

5. Find the <username>.CAL file on your local hard disk drive, where
  <username> is your Schedule+ user name.

6. Rename the <username>.CAL file <username>.OLD.

7. Rename the RECOVER.CAL file <username>.CAL.

8. Start Schedule+. When it tells you that it cannot find your calendar file in
  the location specified, point it to the file you renamed in step 7. Do not
  make a new calendar file.

As much information as possible is now displayed on the screen in Schedule+.
Although some information may be lost, Schedule+ has recovered as much
information as possible.

To accept this file and all information written within as your new calendar file,
do the following:

1. From the Schedule+ Options menu, choose General Options.

2. Remove the "X" in the Startup Offline option box. Schedule+ will now attempt
  to merge the changes (if any) in the new <username>.CAL file with your
  calendar file on the server.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If you run Schedule+ off the network and if the Schedule+ executable file
resides in a read-only directory on a server, Schedule+ will not be able to
create a RECOVER.CAL file.
