SUMMARY
=======

docket (dok'it):
  Any list of things to be done; an agenda.

Docket is a useful tool for anyone who wants their Amiga to perform
repetitive tasks at specific times. Docket is also useful as a simple
reminder tool with a nagging reminder feature.

Docket is aimed at intermediate to advanced users who want an easier way
to schedule tasks to be done on a regular basis. Docket is most useful if
you leave your computer on all the time and need to perform tasks when you
aren't using your Amiga such as cleaning up temporary files or making
backups.
