Hmm.. nothing looks unusual. I went ahead and ran it with -dextvlf even. Nothing that I can find... Only the two lines contain the text 'banner': tamara@caesar:~$ grep -i banner /tmp/diag.txt REM 14 Sep MSG Francis Scott Key pens the "Star Spangled Banner", 1814 % REM Sep 14 MSF Francis Scott Key writes words to "Star Spangled Banner", 1814 % Going further, I walked through each .rem file in the subdirectory to see which one might be failing, and they all produce the banner correctly. Then I tried this: tamara@caesar:~$ cat .remind/*.rem | remind -q - Reminders for Sunday, 21st October, 2012 (today): test Appointments: Watercolour class on Tuesday [snip] **and the banner works! And so I try it again, the normal way: tamara@caesar:~$ remind -q .remind Reminders for Sunday, 21st October, 2012 (today): test Appointments: Watercolour class on Tuesday [snip] ** AND CRIKEY IT WORKS Just to be clear: this was what was happening: tamara@caesar:~$ remind -q .remind Appointments: Watercolour class on Tuesday [snip] ** The ONLY thing I changed was to add a reminder to end of the 00-defs.rem file that should load first. Sure enough, I take out the reminder, and the banner doesn't show up. I don't put reminders in the 00-defs.rem file. Does every .rem file require some kind of reminder, message, or something? 00-defs.rem is just SETs and FSETs and a few other formulae. It's about 75% comment lines. _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans Remind is at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind
