AllDay focuses mainly on computation of calendars. It is an application for generating overviews of calendar years. It is based on either the julian or the gregorian calendar system. Dates are converted to the jewish calendar system in addition.

The user can enter and save day events or events that occur during a certain period of time. Day events can be stored as repeating yearly. Events and periods may be grouped so that it is possible to differentiate for instance between holidays, birthdays, vacation, etc.

All events are stored in .ald files.

A window separate from the yearly overview shows details for any chosen day like number of day in year, number of remaining days in year, Julian date, number of week in year, number of remaining weeks in year, times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, full moon and new moon.

An event list window shows all events of one year and allows to sort by date or by name. With the filter function event groups can shown or hidden. The day calculator allows to count the number of days between any two dates. Certain weekdays or groups can be omitted.

Any number of yearly overviews can be opened in different windows. Events can be stored in any number of files and opened independently. Data can be exchanged with other applications through an import and export function from/to standardized CSV format.

AllDay is shareware and not expensive. Compared to the development effort it is almost free. Please do register if you are constantly using the application. You contibute to a continued effort in enhancing AllDay.


About Calendars

Julian Calendar

The Julian calendar has been implemented 46 B.C. by Gaius Julias Caesar. It has been adopted for all christs by the concile of Nicaea in 325 A.C.

In the Julian calendar year 1 immediately followed year -1. Year 0 has not existed. The leap day correction in the Julian calendar every four years was approximately 11 minutes longer than necessary which equals approimately one day in 128 years.

Gregorian Calendar

The Gregorian calendar has been implemented on October 15, 1582 by pope Gregory XIII. To compensate the errorneous leap days of the Julian calendar, ten days have been omitted in this year, i.e., October 4 was immediately followed by October 15.

The Gregorian calendar has 97 leap days in 400 years. In years divisible by 100 leap days have been omitted if the century is not divisible by 4. In some countries this calendar has been officially implemented later, e.g., 1751 in England and 1918 in Russia.

Jewish Calendar

The jewish or hebrew calendar (term jewish calendar is more commonly used) is used traditionally for religious purposes and is the official calendar in Israel. In countries outside of Israel, jews typically use the local civil calendar for daily affairs and the jewish calendar for religious observances. Calculations for certain days of observance are performed using the jewish calendar and then typically scheduled in the local civil calendar.

The jewish calendar is a lunisolar calendar. It uses months with 29 and 30 days of length. The are named Tishri, Heshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat, Adar, Nisan, Iyar, Sivan, Tammuz, Av and Elul. Leap years of 13 months incur in cycles of 19 years in years 3, 6, 8, 11, 14 and 19. In leap years, the 29-day month Adar is designated Adar II, and is preceded by the 30-day intercalary month Adar I.

By tradition, days of the week are designated by number, with only the seventh day, Sabbath, having a specific name. Days are reckoned from sunset to sunset, so that day 1 begins at sunset on Saturday and ends at sunset on Sunday. The Sabbath begins at sunset on Friday and ends at sunset on Saturday.

The jewish calendar used today has been implemented in year anno mundi (A.M.) 4119 by patriarch Hillel II. He disseminated rules for calculating the calendar which prior to that time was regarded as a secret science of the religious authorities. The calendar starts on October 6, -3760 of the julian proleptic calendar.

Easter

By the concile of Nicaea also the date of easter has been defined. It is the first Sunday that follows the full moon falling on or following March 21st. This clerical definition is different from the astronomical method, AllDay however uses the clerical definition.

With the date of easter also other important days can be calculated, e.g.:

(OS = Easter Sunday)

Good Friday = OS - 2

Ascension Day = OS + 39

Whit Sunday = OS + 49

Julian Date

The Julian Date (not to be confused with the Julian Calendar) has been implemented along with the Gregorian calendar reform in 1582 by Joseph Justus Scaliger. It shows the number of days since January 1, 4713 B.C. For historical reasons a day in the Julian Date starts at 12:00 (UT), at noon.

Important: AllDay computes calendars based on the chosen system (Julian or Gregorian). Historic events are not taken into account by the application (e.g., whether or not the respective calendar was in place in the chosen year, etc.).

Day Details
See also New Event, About Calendars, Enter Position, Enter Time Zone, Sun and Moon, Inspector

To view details about a day selected in the yearly overview the day detail window is used. It is opened by double clicking a certain day in the yearly overview.

The day detail window always stays on top of all other windows and shows all events of the chosen day in a list. If another day is clicked in the yearly overview while the day detail window is open, the day detail window updated with the newly selected day's information.

Aside of the full date of the chosen day, in the upper part of the day detail window is shown the number of day in year, the number of remaining days in year, the week number, the number of remaining weeks in year, the Julian day number, the jewish date as well as the times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, full moon and new moon.

The list of events in the day detail window is used to edit or to delete events. If more than one event occur on the same day, all events but the one that has been entered first can only be edited through the day detail window.

To select one event left click it's name in the list. Right click the list and choose from the popup menu to edit or delete the selected event.


Filter Events
See also New Event, Event Groups

To limit the display to show only events of certain groups, select "Filter" from menu "Extras". In the filter window, any combination of groups can be hidden or shown.

By using the filter function, the user for example can view birthdays only or holidays and vacations only.

The filter window contains two lists in which the groups appear that are to be shown or hidden respectively. To hide a group, double click the group in the list of visible groups. This group then will be transferred to the list of not visible groups. To show a group, double click the group in the list of not visible groups.

Display of all events belonging to hidden groups is suppressed in the yearly overview.


Event Groups
See also New Event, Change Group File, Filter Events

Many differnt events can occur each year. To be able to differentiate between events of certain kinds AllDay allows to group events. Groups can be opened, changed or deleted. They determine in which color an event is shown, whether or not it is a working day and if it is shown or not.

Assignment of events to a group is done when creating new events or when changing events.

Some commonly used groups are already created upon installation of AllDay along with some groups with name "No Title", which the user can adapt to personal needs.

To edit groups choose "Options" from menu "Extras" and click tab "Groups". By right clicking the list of groups a popup menu is opened for creating, changing or deleting groups.

If "New" or "Edit" is selected, a window is show with all details of the group. To change the color of the group click into field "Color". In the color picker window choose a new color for the group. Field "off day" is selected if events of that group are not working days. Deactivation field "show" results in hiding all events of that group.

Attention: Groups should not be deleted. If already events are assigned to a group that is being deleted, events remain that are not assigned to a group anymore. Instead groups should be renamed, e.g., "No Title 1", "No Title 2", etc.

Important: If events were assigend to a group that has been deleted, creating a new group named as the deleted group will not result in respective events being assigned to that group again. Each event must be assigned to the new group explicitly.


Change Group File
See alsoe Event Groups, Filter Events

AllDay stores event groups in a file named "Groups.alg". This file has to reside in the directory in which file "AllDay.exe" is stored. When AllDay is installed, a "Groups.alg" file with appropriate predefined groups already is delivered.

If AllDay does not find file "Groups.alg" in the application directory, a new one is created.

If the group file is lost after events have been assigend to groups in that file, new groups have to be added and events have to be assigned to these groups manually.

Important: To avoid having events with missing group assignment, groups should not be deleted. Instead groups not needed anymore should be renamed, e.g. "No Title 1", "No Title 2", etc.


Save Events
See also New Event, Open Event File, Event Groups

All event entries in a yearly overview can be saved into a file by selecting "Save" from menu "File". The Windows "Save Dialog" appears with its functions to save files. AllDay files are saved with extension ".ald" by default.

Important: AllDay files can be saved to any place. All events normally are assigned to groups though. Therefore group assignments may not be made properly when using AllDay files of other users unless both users share the same unchanged group file which is installed along with the application.


Open Event File
See also New Event, Save Events

A previously saved AllDay event file can be opened by selction of item "Open" in menu "File". The Windows "Open Dialog" appears with its functions to select and open files. Note that an AllDay file can be opened read only by making the respective selction in the open dialog.

Changes applied to a file that has been opened read only can not be saved.

Each AllDay file is opened in its own yearly overview. Any number of files resp. overviews can be open at a time.

AllDay files are stored with extension ".ald" by default.

History of AllDay
See also Author

AllDay originally was developed for the MacOS on the Apple Macintosh. First published in 1991 it went through a long 'evolution' until its last Mac version 5.3. It experienced a worldwide distribution as freeware application and was appreciatied especially with historians due to its universal date computation.

Version 6.0 of December 6, 198 was the version published for Windows 9x and NT. This version is offered as shareware because of its extended functionality compared to the version offered as freeware.

Version 6.1 of January 3, 1999 computes times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, full mon and new moon for any geographic position.

Version 6.3 of April 2, 1999 allows to import and export files with CSV files.

Version 6.4 of May 1, 1999 can compute the number of days between two dates and introduces the inspector.

Version 6.5 of May 27, 1999 has better printing functions and allows to select the geographic location through a county and city list. The colors of more elements of the year overview can be adjusted individually. The status bar in the main window now shows location and time zone in addition. The inspector also shows information when the day info window is not open.

Version 6.6 of September 7, 1999 shows all events of one year in a new separate list window. Events can be sorted by date or by name. Export works for event files and event lists. Various minor enhancements have been made to the user interface.

Version 6.7 of December 11, 1999 is a maintenance and consolidation update. It contains a number of fixes which make the application overall handling better.

Version 6.8 of December 29, 1999 can compute events occuring on a certain weekday before or after a given date (e.g. first sunday after September 29th.). As well it can compute jewish dates and jewish holidays which are entered as jewish day and month and shown in the year overview.


Enter Position
See also Day Details, Enter Time Zone, Sun and Moon

For the correct computation of sunrise and sunset AllDay needs the position of the user expressed in geographic latitude and longitude.

To enter the position, the options window is opened by selecting "Options" from menu "Extras" and clicking tab "Time".

By choosing from lists "Country" and "City" a certain city can be selected as location. If your city can not be found in the list, the position can be entered individually by checking box "other position".

The position then is entered in to box "Position" by stating the geographical latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes and seconds. Northern or southern hemispheres and western or eastern hemispheres are indicated are indicated through respective ceck boxes behind the latitude and longitude information.

The position is entered for Frankfurt, Germany by default (50° 06' 44" N, 8° 40' 55" E).


Enter Time Zone
See also Day Details, Enter Position, Sun and Moon

For proper computation of sunrise and sunset AllDay needs the time zone the user resides in.

To enter the time zone the option window is opened by selecting "Options" from menu "Extras" and clicking tab "Time".

In field Time Zone" the number of hours is entered which the local time is different from the time at the meridian of Greenwich (Universal Time UT or Greenwich Mean Time GMT).

By selecting a city from list "City" respective time zone is already preselected. If the location was entered by hand instead, the time zone has to be entered manually as well.

For positions west of the meridian of Greenwich, the number of hours has to be preceded by a minus sign (-). To enter parts of an hour, the decimal notation is used, e.g., 4.5 for 4 hours and 30 minutes.

The time zone is set to European Time by default (MEZ = UT + 1).

Important: Daylight saving time is applied by AllDay automatically according to respective system setting of Windows.


First Steps
See also Change Font of Yearly Overview, Enter Time Zone, Enter Position, New Event, Yearly Overview, Registration

After installation of AllDay, nothing dramatic happens when starting the application for the first time. Only the main window is opened.

A new empty yearly overview is created with item "New" in menu "File". New events can be entered and then saved with item "Save" in menu "File".

The application contains an example file with holidays in addition. This file can be viewed by selecting "Open" from menu "File".

Important: Watch for context menus in all areas of  the application (right mouse button).

Many user preferences can be changed through item "Options" in menu "Extras". AllDay for instance is set to adapt the font size of the yearly overview proportional to the window size. Font and size can instead be explicitly set resulting in the windows size automatically adapting to the chosen font and size.

The geographic position and time zone of the user is set to Frankfurt, Germany by default which is why sunrise and sunset, moonrise and moonset as well as the times of full moon or new moon are computed for this selection. This also can be altered through the options window.

AllDay is shareware and not expensive. Compared to the development effort it is almost free. Please do register if you are constantly using the application. You contibute to a continued effort in enhancing AllDay.


Sun and Moon
See also Day Details, About Calendars

AllDay computes the times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, new moon and full moon by astronomical algorithms.

For this computation very much details have to taken into account. To achieve a satisfactory precision with limited development effort some steps can be omitted. AllDay only honors parallax, refraction and angular diameter. Not honored are precession, nutation and aberration.

Sunrise and sunset are the times at which the upper limb of the sun passes the horizon. Local impacts on observing these events are not taken into account (mountains, hills, tall buildings, etc.), i.e., sea level surrounded by plain surface all the way to the horizon is supposed.


Import und Export

Import and Export
See also Save events, Repeat events, Event List

With its import/export function AllDay can exchange data with other applications. To import or export choose "Import" or "Export" from menu "File" respectively. A window appears, where name and directory of the file to import or export can be chosen.

The currently active filter is used for export, i.e. only events that belong to a visible group are exported. If an event list is currently open, this list is exported instead of the event file.

AllDay exchanges files in 'character separated values' (CSV) format. CSV files are ASCII text files where fields are separated by a certain character. AllDay uses a comma for the field separator. Each line in a CSV file ends with a 'carriage return line feed' (CRLF or ASCII 1310) and equals a dataset in AllDay

Example for a CSV dataset: [field],[field],[field]CRLF

Fields in the CSV file are preceded and ended with a double quote (") when double quotes or the field separator (comma) are contained in the field as normal text. Double quotes within a field are preceded with an additional double quote.

Example:

Field contains 123AB456

CSV file contains [previous field],123AB456,[next field]

Field contains ABC,1DE"F

CSV file contains [previous field],"ABC,1DE""F",[next field]

An example CSV file named "Holidays.csv" is contained in the installation of AllDay to document the structure of an import/export file. You can test the structure yourself by creating a new yearly overview in AllDay an enter diferent events. Then you export the events as described. You can view the contents of the exported file with any text editor like Notepad or MS Word. The format is explained as follows.

Day Calculator
See also Event Groups

The day calculator can be used to compute the amount of days between two dates. Certain week days or event groups can be left out when counting.

To open the day calculator window, choose 'Day Calculator...' from menu 'Extras'. After adjusting start and end date press button 'Calc'. Start and end date is included in the computed amount of days.

Options

By pressing button 'Options' further choices can be made. Box 'Selection' shows the week days and event groups that are included in the computation. Double clicking an item in the lists moves the item to box 'ignore'. To move items between boxes 'Selection' and 'ignore' buttons > >> << < can be used as well.

Option OR

The week days and event groups shown in box 'Selection' are counted with option OR by default, i.e. all days are counted that fall on one of the chosen week days OR belong to one of the chosen groups.
E.g. when in box 'Selection' 'Monday' and 'Tuesday' is chosen in the list of week days and 'Holiday (off)' is chosen in the list of groups, with option OR all mondays, tuesdays are counted and as well all days that are belonging to group 'Holiday (off)'.

Option AND

If option AND is chosen instead, only days are counted that fall on one of the chosen week days AND that belong to one of the chosen groups.
