I made this program for myself but thought some of you might like it. It's a simple GUI for creating short-term reminders or scheduled events.

• Enter EITHER a number of minutes ahead for the event to take place (this is accurate to within 1 second of the time the OK buton was pressed) OR a time when the event should take place
• Choose the event and hit OK.
• To cancel an alarm or event run the program again while an alarm is set.
• If you restart your computer while an alarm is set that alarm will persist over the restart.

I use it almost every day to time food in the oven or to get my computer to shut down after I think a download will be done. It offers snooze options too, and uses <5MB processor memory. Also it's a standalone EXE so it doesn't need installing.

Now be honest, cdd, will it be wrong?

I produced something like this for a ZX Spectrum as one of my first programming efforts. As I recall it took up something like 800 bytes of Z80 assembler.

Makes you wonder what they're feeding the people who make the compilers these days that a proggie like that could use up a third of a megabyte!
