- DayCount is a small program that counts the days between today and a
- specified date. DayCount is displayed in a small window with user editable
- messages before and after DayCount. Multiple dates can be created and
- DayCount remembers window positions, messages, and dates next time you run
- it. I made this program to count the days I have left of my sivilian
- service, (alternative to the military service) 316 days left at this writing.
-
- DayCount is FREE!.

- DayCount needs System 7 or later to run.
