Procedures set to read and write HP95LX appointment book (.abk) files. Notes: 1. Files created by the Appointment Book application may contain some padding following the last field of some data records. Hence, the RecordLength field must be used to determine the start of the next record. Appointment book files created by other programs need not have any padding. 2. ApptState has several bit fields. Only bit 0 is meaningful to software processing an appointment book file. Bit 0 being set or cleared corresponds to the alarm being enabled or disabled, respectively. Programs creating Appointment book files should clear all bits, except perhaps bit 0. 3. ToDoState has two one-bit bit fields. Bit 0 being set or cleared corresponds to carry forward being enabled or disabled for this todo item, respectively. Bit 1 being set or cleared corresponds to the doto being checked off or not checked off, respectively. 4. Appointment and ToDo texts are each limited to a maximum of 27 characters. 5. Note text is limited to a maximum of 11 lines of 39 characters per line (not counting the line terminator).
