All of us have friends, relatives and other people, who would like us not to forget to congratulate them with their birthdays. Unfortunately, most of us cant keep in our minds all these dates and numbers, and, from time to time, are missing some of the anniversaries.
The Birthday Scanner application was designed to be a small tool that will remember birthdays of all your numerous friends and relatives and reminds you about them in advance.
Birthday Scanner is the small utility thatll make your life a lot simpler, not bothering your PC too much. It delicately reminds you in advance about any
upcoming birthday, thus allowing you to prepare for it and not to forget it.
Of course, all this can be easily done by a lot of Time Scheduling programs available on the market today (e.g. Microsoft Outlook). But most of these programs are permanently residing in your memory, thus occupying a considerable part of it. For those of us, who just need simple reminders about the upcoming birthdays, these programs are too heavy and provide too much of unnecessary functionality.
Birthday Scanner differs from the typical Time Scheduler by the fact that it doesnt occupy ANY memory at all. It simply loads itself during startup, scans
its database, displays reminders of upcoming anniversaries (if there are any)
and leaves the scene, thus freeing all the memory. For birthdays such behaviour is mostly adequate - user is informed of any upcoming events in advance (in 3 days), at the same time memory and resources are not wasted.
In addition to running Scanner on startup, user can schedule it to run at any specific time using any Scheduler utility (e.g. System Agent supplied with Microsoft Plus).
Birthday Scanner consists of two independent applications:
- Birthday.exe - Database Editor
- Scanner.exe - Scanner itself.
For the proper operation the Birthdays Database file Birthday.txt, which is
automatically created by Database Editor, is also required.

Enhancements:
- Multilanguage support, date format and font settings.

The Reminder application was designed to remind you of important events at a specific time. You can set the alert interval in hours or minutes and use the sound you want.
