PROGRAM "DAYS" (c) 1989 by Bill Morgan
This little program offers a quick and easy way to find the
number of days there are between two dates. I wrote it during
a period when an especially dreaded event was approaching day
by day. I found I had some compulsive need know each day exactly
how many days I had left before this event would overcome me.
So I wrote "DAYS", and each day I would run it with morbid
fascination. I am trusting that my users will find more
optimistic uses for "DAYS."
The operation is very simple. At the DOS prompt you type "DAYS."
The program will present you with, in turn, two calendars. By using
the cursor keys and following the prompts you can select a date.
Selecting a date on the first calendar will cause a second calendar
to appear. If you select a date on this second calendar, the program
will tell you how many days there are between the two days!
As you scroll around this second calendar, note that the days
difference is continually updated on the right of the bottom line.
Thus, you can also use "DAYS" to find out what date will be some number
of days in the future, such as, "When will I be 10,000 days old?"
or "When will it be 23 shopping days before Christmas?"
If you just want to QUIT the program or prompts, just
use the ESC key.
Other features :
<C> Colors
Pressing C will let you customize the colors for each little
calendar. It will prompt you for a number between 1 and 255.
Try out a few and see what you like. Everything over 128 is blinking.
If you change the colors, the program will save the new values
into itself and use them next time you run "DAYS."
<N> New
This simply lets you enter a month directly. Sometimes that is
faster. Thus you can also use "DAYS" to simply look at a calendar
of a certain month.
<T> Today
Pressing T will jump the calendar back to today's date from
wherever in time you have wandered off to. This is handy for
seeing how many days have passed since some event and today.
<P> Prev
This command just provides an alternative way to move
backward from month to month.
I hope you enjoy this program. If you do, drop us a note!
