    ^1DaysTil^0 is a handy little utility for reporting the number of days 
 since an event occurred or until an event is to occur.  The program can be 
 used to help remind you of significant dates like birthdays, anniversaries, 
 and holidays.  Just select the date, provide a description, and include the 
 command DaysTil in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and you will never forget another 
 important date! 


 ^1Setting DaysTil Event Date and Description^0

    DaysTil allows you to set both an Event Date and Event Description.  From 
 the DOS prompt, type:  ^1DAYSTIL change

 Once the program has loaded, the screen is cleared and the Date/Description 
 entry screen is displayed with a highlight box positioned on the Date field.  
 The Date field is made of three items: Month, Day, and Year.  Use the <LEFT> 
 and <RIGHT> arrow keys to select one of these items.  The <UP> and <DOWN> 
 arrow keys are used to increase or decrease the value of the currently 
 selected item.  Press <ENTER> to switch from one field to the other.  When 
 the highlight box is positioned on the Description field, you can input a 
 short description of the event.  Press <F10> and the current event date and 
 description are saved.  Press <ESC> to cancel without saving your changes.


 ^1Running DaysTil^0

 When you run DaysTil, a message with your description and the number of days
 from the event date, is displayed.  For example, you might receive one of the 
 following messages:
 
^CThere are 9 more days until my vacation starts!

^CIt has been 5 days since I quit eating chocolate.

 
 ^1Enhanced Feature^0

    DaysTil uses a technique of updating any changes you make to either the
 Description or the Date directly to the DAYSTIL.EXE file on disk.  What this
 means is that you are limited to one DaysTil message per executable file.  You
 may think that you could copy DAYSTIL.EXE to DAYSTIL2.EXE and thus create a
 second message.  This approach is fine so long as you are running DOS
 version 3.0 or greater.
