Documentation for DCAL.EXE (Daily CALendar) (Version 1.2 on 02-17-1992)
Written by Garry Spencer - 5O27 Byron Rd. - Memphis, TN 38122
This program will print a calendar on the screen which corresponds to the
current date or to the date on the DOS command line. The 3-month calendar
will also show the months before and after the current (or specified) month.
The command syntax options are:
DCAL
If no command line arguments are given, the current date is used.
DCAL mm-dd-yy
This syntax form assumes that mm=month, dd=day, yy=year. The 2-digit year
form will assume that (yy=8O to 99) means 198O to 1999 and that (yy=OO to 79)
means 2OOO to 2O79.
DCAL mm-dd-yyyy
This syntax form assumes that mm=month, dd=day, yyyy=year. The 4-digit year
form will accept the years (1582 to 9999).
The command line switch /C (for Continuous calendar) allows the user to scroll
through any 3-month period by using the arrow keys, PgUp, PgDn, Home and End.
The Escape key exits the program. If /C is not specified on the command line,
the program will display only one 3-month period and then will exit.
The current date will always be displayed in blinking yellow. Any date on
the command line will be displayed in normal yellow.
This program may be placed in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file using the first command
syntax. In older XT systems, which require the user to enter the date
each time the system is booted up, the DATE command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
may be replaced with the command DCAL. If the program DCAL is executed with
no command line arguments and the current date is O1-O1-8O, then the
DOS DATE command is invoked.
I hope you will find this program to be useful.
