WHAT IS DAY2DAY ?
Day2Day is a small program which can calculate the number of days
between two dates, and is therefore very handy is you e.g. want to know
how many days you have had you Amiga (you remember when you got it -
don't you?), or how many days you have been alive.
HOW TO START DAY2DAY
From CLI : Type '
Day2Day
' and press RETURN.
There is
NO
need to use
RUN
,
RUNBACK
,
ARUN
etc.
Day2Day is auto-detaching when run from CLI (It will
not prevent you from closing the CLI-window).
From Workbench: Double-click on the '
Day2Day
' icon.
HOW TO USE DAY2DAY
Day2Day opens a window looking something like this:
------------------------------
| Day2Day V1.0 |
|----------------------------|
| |
| Date-format is DD-MM-YYYY |
| ________ |
| From _________ / \ |
| ^ | Solve<-|-|----\
| to |________ \________/ | \
| | ^ | \
| are |__|_____ days | \
--------|--|--^--------------- Here you click
/ | |____ to make the program
/ | \ calculate the number
/ | \ of days between the
/ | \ start and end dates.
Here you write | \
the start date. | \
| \
| \
Here you write Here the program show
the end date. the number of days
between the start and
end dates.
Example: To find the number of days between 10'th December 1983 and
18'th October 1991 you should write the start date as 10-12-1983
and the end date as 18-10-1986. Then you should click on the
'Solve' gadget. Day2Day will the tell you that there are 1043
days between the two dates (i.e. 18'th October 1986 is the 1043'th
day since 10'th December 1983).
Note on date-format: The accepted format for dates is '
DD-MM-YYYY
'. Days
and months which can be written with one digit, will
also be accepted (i.e. 5'th March 1969 can be written
as 05-03-1969, 5-03-1969, 05-3-1969 and 5-3-1969).
Note on errors: Any error in specifying a date will be found when you
click on the 'Solve' gadget. This means that neither
21-14-1991 nor 29-2-1991 will be accepted (the latter
because 1991 is not a leapyear). When Day2Day finds an
error, it will place the cursor on the erroneous date.
COMPATABILITY !
Day2Day has been tested under kickstart 1.2, 1.3 and 2.x on a
2.5 MB 68000 based Amiga 1000 (0.5 MB chip-ram). If any problems
is encountered with other configurations then let me know.
