Aux environs du 23/05/04 à 13:47 -0400, sous le titre "[NTLK]
Birthday Apps, a reprise...", Matthew Reidsrow prit sa plus belle
plume pour écrire les mots suivants:

The old behavior is still built-in, but the new one is selected by default.
With any NewtonScript evaluator (NTK, ViewFrame, NewtWorks'
Worksheets), evaluate this:
begin
local thePrefs := GetAppPrefs('|Avi's Backdrop:AviD|, nil);
thePrefs.useBirthdaysAviMethod := true;
EntryChange(thePrefs);
end;
Then tapping the birthday zone should be enough to reload everything
with the old method.
However, I wouldn't suggest using the old method. It's much slower
and dates repeating events are less accurate than picking results
from the Names soup. And it's not supported. But indeed, the new
method requires every person with a birthday to have a card in Names.
If you want to revert to the new behavior, do the following:
begin
local thePrefs := GetAppPrefs('|Avi's Backdrop:AviD|, nil);
RemoveSlot(thePrefs, 'useBirthdaysAviMethod);
EntryChange(thePrefs);
end;
