-
- Release 2.0 of the IslamicTimer software package is now available via
- anonymous ftp from snake.mcs.kent.edu (IP address: 131.123.2.222).
- The distribution is in a compressed shar (shell archive) file named
- "/pub/IslamicTimer-2.0.shar.Z". The new release includes a couple of
- very minor fixes and a new program, called PREMIND, which provides
- prayers time reminder/notification service on UNIX platforms.
-
- In addition to PREMIND, IslamicTimer includes programs for generating
- Islamic (Hijri) Calendars, translating Gregorian/Julian dates to/from dates
- in the Islamic Calendar, computing prayer time schedules, and for determining
- the direction of the Qiblah.
-
- The software should be fairly portable and it should run on any UNIX
- system. If you have to make any changes to files other than the Makefiles
- to make these programs work on your machine/compiler, please contact me and
- tell me where I goofed.
-
- All the programs are Copyrighted. Permission for nonprofit use and
- redistribution of the software and its documentation is granted without
- fee.
-
- Please send your comments, suggestions, fixes, and additions to me:

-
- Large sums of money can also be sent to me, although at this time I'd
- suggest you send your donations to a Relief Fund for the people suffering
- in Somalia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, and Palestine, and/or to your favorite
- charity.
