Distribution

Pocket Diary is distributed as a self-extracting windows-based executable. All programs were written using Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0, therefore it is required to have the MFC42.DLL library installed on your system. Common installations of Windows (Windows95A and above) already have this file handy in the system directory.

Pocket Diary consumes very little hard drive, memory resource, and CPU usage. (Maximum memory usage is approximately 2MB, for the UI *and* when spell checker dictionary is completely loaded) Therefore, hardware requirements are not much of a concern for running Pocket Diary, but it is recommended to have at least an 80586 processor with 16MB of RAM. In other words: if the computer you're using was purchased after 1995, you're okay.

Pocket Diary installs under 500k of hard drive space and its booklets can be compressed so that they utilize less space as well. You could actually run Pocket Diary from a floppy diskette, if for some reason you wanted to.

Licensing & Costs

Unfortunately, Pocket Diary is not free software. You are given a 30 day trial period for evaluating Pocket Diary. Continuing usage after the trial period requires purchase of the fully licensed copy.

What will happen if you use the software after the 30 day trial period? The program will still continue to run as normal, HOWEVER, Pocket Diary will pause an additional second for each day after the 30 day trial period, reminding you to license your copy.

When you license your copy of Pocket Diary, you will also be able to use some features that are not available in the trial version of Pocket Diary.

Additional features in the fully licensed copy:

Booklet Compression
Suppress Splash Screen

See the Licensing section for more information.
