- 1.0 HISTORY.
-
- Idea & Code by 1127 Gandalf of Ecthelion Software Developments.
-
- Version 1.0
-
- © 18. August 1991 by ESD.
-
- This was an ugly version with lot'sa bugs and gurus. I did not
- even dare to spread it.
-
- Version 1.1
-
- © 27. January 1992 by ESD.
-
- This must be it. All bugs have been removed and now it even
- writes the date in EC ! It also writes who have birthday in
- the next week.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1.1 WHY ?
-
- I wrote Born because I could never remember when my friends
- birthdays where. You know if a pal of you gives you sum special
- attention on your birthday, it means something to you. Sum
- peoples wants all the attention and says : Well, I've birthday
- party next Saturday, will you join us, in a great party ??
-
- Now you can remember your pals (mothers, sisters, etc.) births
- even without thinking nor getting those "hints".
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1.2 HOW TO INSTALL ?
-
- Born has two important files that is :
-
- Born
- Born.Dta
-
- The Dta file must be in the S: directory of your harddisc or
- boot-disk. If you dont have a hard one, then you should put
- the file on a disc you use every day. Eq Coders their DevPac
- disc and graphicans their DPaint disc.
-
- The program Born should be included in the startup-sequence.
- Born can live whereever you want it to be (I prefer the C
- directory).
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1.3 CHANGEING THE DATA LIST ?
-
- The data list should be changed using a great editor like ced,
- turboed, silvered, etc.
-
- The datas must be in the following format :
-
- 12-07-70 Pål D. Ekran !
- 29-09-71 Per Harald Myrvang !
- XX-XX-XX END. !
-
- Follow these steps :
-
- 1... Day
- 2... Month
- 3... Year
- 4... Name
- 5... ! (* This is to mark the end of line *)
-
- After all records have been entered you should type in :
-
- XX-XX-XX END. ! (* This is the end of file mark *)
-
- do now save the filename under : s:Born.Dta
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1.4 RUNNING WILD ?
-
- When you now run the program the code will get the date from
- DateRec. Then it will calculate the date, the EC date and the
- dates in the next week (* 6 days from now on *).
- Now Born will open the datafile and compare its calculations
- with the births, and it would write out a message if there's
- any partys goin' on...
