Comments

It's day based reminder, not a calendar. Can specify when to remind but can't specify when it is scheduled.

Help

from docs/README.UNIX:

1) Type: wish ./build.tk from the top-level Remind directory. Fill in the various options and hit "Build Remind"

2) Type: "make install" — you may need to be root to do this.

From message of build.tk

After it's installed, create an empty file called: $HOME/.reminders and type tkremind for a nice easy introduction to Remind.

Test Run

touch $HOME/.reminders
tkremind &
 -- click on the date!
