On This Day for Windows v1.8 Daily events database
2-WINDOW FEB94 BIRTHDAY CALENDAR DATE EVENT HISTORY HOLIDAY <ASP>
FILES: wotd-18.sdn
Author: Wayne Geiser
Registration: $25.00
What happened on this day in history?
Did you know that Children's Day is the second Sunday in June? Or
that November is Aviation History Month? How about that Willard Scott
(NBC's "birthday boy") was born on March 7th, 1934? Confuscious was
born August 27th, 551 BC? On This Day for Windows can tell you all
this and more.
On This Day for Windows is a collection of databases with an
easy-to-use Microsoft Windows access program. The user selects the
date in which he or she is interested. On This Day for Windows then
reads a group of databases, sending the output to either a window or a
disk file.
Since the databases are simply text files and their format is
completely documented, you can make changes and additions using your
favorite text editor or word processor. On This Day for Windows will
read an extra file if it exists so you can enter all your own personal
events into a separate file or mix them with the other data in the
provided files.
On This Day for Windows can handle dates in the Gregorian, Hebrew,
Islamic, and Julian calendars. This makes it possible to specify
Jewish and Islamic holidays as well as the ones corresponding to the
calendar most of us use every day.
On This Day for Windows can determine a day of the week on which the
date requested falls. This enables the user to specify holidays like
Memorial Day (last Monday in May).
On This Day for Windows calculates the date for Easter in the year
requested, allowing the specification of all the Christian holidays.
On This Day for Windows calculates the phases of the moon, solstices
and equinoxes, and flags lunar eclipses.
Probably best of all, On This Day for Windows comes with a collection
of data ready to use with the program. Some small sample databases
are included in the evalutation copy of On This Day. HUGE databases
(more than 15,000 events) will be provided upon registration along
with the latest version of the program and a collection of utilities
we've found useful.
Hardware Requirements : IBM PC, PC-compatible or MS-DOS computer.
Other Requirements : Microsoft Windows 3.0 or higher.
