INTRODUCTION
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
It might well be asked what relevance the festival of Fortuna or
the months of the goddess have to a world of personal computers.
They have none, of course. Fortunately, this isn't a world of
personal computers. It's a world of people, and our calendars
date back to before January 1, 1970.

The holidays and festivals we commonly recognize are for the most
part judeo-christian. However, the early christians who devised
them did so to a large extent through expediency, for there was
already a long list of observances which were popularly
celebrated, and a lot of old gods to dedicate the days of the
year to.

As such, Easter is really the feast of the Celtic goddess Eostre.
Christmas, perhaps the most celebrated of christian festivals,
was strategically located four days after the winter solstice. In
fact, what evidence there is for ascribing a birthday to Christ
puts it somewhere in the middle of January.

The Pagan Daybook is a small DOS application which will avail you
of a very different calendar. It will tell you what each day
meant before they became encumbered with saints or marked merely
as bank holidays and long weekends.

As a final note, while most of these festivals date back to
medieval times or earlier, the pagan calendar is far from being
archaic. History is written by the winners, and the christian
domination of Europe and later of North America has seen
predominantly christian cultures in the western world.
Recognition and worship of the old gods didn't vanish with the
coming of the christians, however. Fertility magic, wicca and the
rites that medieval christians were to call witchcraft are still
followed, although as a rule not by stockbrokers and corporate
lawyers.


USING THE PAGAN DAYBOOK
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
When you run the Pagan Daybook a window will open showing you:

- The day, and its meaning. Each of the day names we currently
  use is based on the name of a god or goddess.
- The tide based on the time of day.
- The actual time.
- What significance the day has in the pagan calendar. On days
  which are not festivals of one sort or another you'll see the
  phrase "no observances".

If you leave the Pagan Daybook on your screen, it will update
itself automatically.

The Pagan Daybook comes configured to use some reasonably
attractive screen colours. You can change its setup
characteristics by running PAGINSTL.EXE, to be discussed in a
moment. Any changes you make to the Pagan Daybook will become
permanent the next time you quit the program.

Note that the Pagan Daybook will only appear in colour on systems
equipped with a VGA card.

To quit the Pagan Daybook, hit any key other than F1 or F2.

The non-interactive modes of The Pagan Daybook, as discussed
shortly, allow it to make your AUTOEXEC.BAT file less ugly while
your computer boots up. Have PAGANDAY.EXE run first, such that it
displays its screen and lets your AUTOEXEC.BAT file complete its
tasks unseen.

The Calendar function of the Pagan Daybook, as accessed by
hitting the F1 key from the main screen, will allow you to query
the list of festivals and observances. The highlighted days have
observances. Use the PgUp and PgDn keys to change years and the
plus and minus keys to change months. The calendar goes back to
1583, the start of the Gregorian calendar. Use the arrow keys to
select days.


INSTALLING THE PAGAN DAYBOOK IN YOUR AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
If you have a typical AUTOEXEC.BAT file... that is, one which
likes to scroll pages of meaningless copyright and status
messages across your screen... you can usually replace all its
diatribe with the screen of the Pagan Daybook. Put PAGANDAY.EXE
at the top of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Here's a typical example:

@ECHO OFF
VERIFY ON
C:\PAGANDAY\PAGANDAY /TRW
PATH C:\DOS\BATCH;C:\DOS;C:\GWS;C:\WINDOWS
set TEMP=H:\
DOSEDIT
LOADHIGH C:\WINDOWS\MOUSE.COM > NUL
PROMPT $p$g

The /TRW switch runs the Pagan Daybook in its basic text mode.
This will cause it to display its information and then return
control immediately to AUTOEXEC.BAT.

Note the line which installs MOUSE.COM. The MOUSE.COM program
usually prints something to the screen. Adding > NUL to the end
of the command line makes this text stay hidden. You can do this
for any line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file which insists on being
verbose.

If you have a very long AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you might consider
running PAGANDAY.EXE with the /TNF switch, rather than /TRW. This
will cause it to display its text against a coloured background.
The catch to this is that it will leave your display card palette
very confused. You must include the command MODE CO80 as the last
line of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to restore the screen.

This approach is only useful if your AUTOEXEC.BAT file takes long
enough to make the Pagan Daybook screen readable.

Finally, note that you can also put the call to PAGANDAY.EXE at
the end of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.


CONFIGURING THE PAGAN DAYBOOK
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
You can use the PAGINSTL.EXE program to configure the Pagan
Daybook. Specifically, it will allow you to change the colours of
the screen elements, to set a time delay upon termination, to set
the display mode and to install your name and registration number
when you register the software.


DISPLAY MODE
───────────────────
The Pagan Daybook supports four display mode. They are:

Simple Text with no clear -- The day and observances for today
will be printed to the screen and the Pagan Daybook will return
to DOS.

Simple Text -- Your screen will clear and the day and observances
for today will be printed. The Pagan Daybook will then return to
DOS.

Full Screen -- Your screen will clear and the day and observances
for today will be printed against a coloured background. The
Pagan Daybook will then return to DOS. This mode should only be
used in a batch file in which you later execute the MODE CO80
command, as it will leave the screen colours of your system very,
very badly scrambled.

Full Screen Interactive -- This is the default mode for the Pagan
Daybook. It allows you to see the current day and observances,
updated constantly, and to queried the calendar function.

Note that in all of the foregoing modes you will see the Pagan
Daybook beg notice when you quit if you're using an unregistered
copy. This will not appear in registered copies.


DELAY TIME
─────────────────
If you set the Delay Time field to a value greater than zero, the
Pagan Daybook will pause for the specified number of seconds, or
until a key is pressed, when it returns to DOS from one of the
first three foregoing display modes.


REGISTRATION NAME AND NUMBER
───────────────────────────────────
The beg notice which appears when the Pagan Daybook terminates
will not be present in registered copies of the software. Once
you register the Pagan Daybook, you'll receive a registration
number keyed to your name. Enter your name and your registration
number in the appropriate fields of PAGINSTL.EXE. When you next
run the Pagan Daybook the beg notice will be seen no more.

You must enter your name exactly as it appears in our letter to
you. The case, punctuation and spacing matter.


TEXT COLOURS
───────────────────
You can change the colours of the text and backgrounds of the
main window and the calendar screen of the Pagan Daybook through
PAGINSTL.EXE. Move the selection bar to the appropriate item and
hold down the R,G or B keys to adjust the red, green and blue
colour component respectively. Holding a key down with Shift also
held down increases the colour in question.

Note that the colours change fairly gradually.

The text colour items will not be displayed on systems which use
CGA, EGA, Hercules or other non-VGA display adapters.


Command Line Switches
---------------------------
You can run PAGANDAY.EXE with one of four optional command line
switches to force it into a display mode other than the one set
up in PAGINSTL.EXE. These are as follows:

/TFS - Full screen interactive text mode
/TRW - Raw text mode
/TNC - Raw text mode with no screen clear
/TNF - Full screen text mode with immediate return to DOS

Run PAGANDAY.EXE with a question mark as its command line
argument to see a list of its supported switches.


ABOUT THE DATES
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
The festivals and other occurrences in the Pagan Daybook are a
fusion of numerous traditions. They include Celtic, Roman and
Norse feasts, and quite a few other dates which have
traditionally been observed somewhere in Europe at some time in
the past. Not all of these dates were the occasion for elaborate
festivities. Especially in the Roman calendar, which seems to be
bursting with feasts and celebrations, many of the days of note
were only significant in passing, or to a select group of people.

Some of the dates are a bit contentious... you may find that you
disagree with their precise location in our contemporary
calendar. As is common in dealing with historical references,
various sources frequently offer various dates for things. This
is often complicated by how calendars were reckoned in ancient
times. Because ancient calendars slipped... that is, they tended
to gain or lose days due to their creators not knowing precisely
how long a year takes... we are often confronted with a
particular observance appearing at two times during a year,
depending on how a year is counted. Someone using the Julian
calendar a few dozen years after its instigation, for
example...it slipped fairly badly... might work out the day for a
particular festival either by counting from the start of the
calendar year, which slipped, or by counting from the most recent
equinox or solstice, which did not slip.

Except in a few cases, the Pagan Daybook's calendar has omitted
christian festivals. There are a number of reasons for this, not
the least of which is that this is a pagan daybook. Practicality
intervenes as well... according to Audrey Butler's Dictionary of
Dates, there's at least one christian festival on almost every
day of the year. Finally, research into the saints for whom these
days are named suggests that most of them were either canonized
for having suffered some barbaric demise... hardly a cheery
thought to start the day with... or through medieval papal
politics, having been absolute scoundrels when they were alive.
The contemporary church has actually de-canonized a few of the
really nasty ones.

There are a number of peculiar terms you'll encounter in the
festivals described by the Pagan Daybook. Here's a quick overview
of them:

- Kalends, or calends. The calend of a month marks its beginning
  in the old Roman calendar.
- Nones. The nones of a month occur nine days before the ideas of
  a month in the old Roman calendar.
- Ides. The ides of a month mark its mid-point in the old Roman
  calendar.
- Runic half-months: Several old calendars divided the year into
  twenty-four months, each signified by a rune.
- Tree and goddess months: Old Celtic calendars in the British
  isles divided the year into twelve months, of which each had the
  characteristic of a particular tree, or of an aspect of the good
  goddess.


BOOKS
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
The following books were helpful in creating the Pagan Daybook.
You might find them interesting if you'd like to learn more about
pagan culture, mythology or unusual practices they followed a
long time ago before people started wearing grey suits.

The Pagan Book of Days, by Nigel Pennick, published by Destiny
Books, ISBN 0-89281-369-5. This book formed a lot of the basic
structure for the Pagan Daybook application.

Ye Gods!, by Anne  S. Baumgartner, published by Lyle Stuart Inc,
ISBN 0-8184-0349-7. This is a dictionary of just about every
deity ever to seduce a mortal or hurl a lightning bolt. It's an
enormously fun book, well written and engaging.

Who's Who in the Ancient World, by Betty Radice, published by
Penguin, ISBN 0-14-051055-9. This is a very good and detailed
listing of ancient figures, both real and mythological... and the
ones who couldn't make up their minds.

Everyman's Dictionary of Dates, revised by Audrey Butler,
published by J. M. Dent and Sons. This is a list of dates of
significance throughout history, as well as several fairly useful
traditional calendars.

The World, The Flesh, The Devil, by Eric Ericson, ISBN 0-8317-
9512-3. This is a biographical dictionary of witches throughout
history. It's an interesting overview of historical pagan
beliefs, if a bit harrowing in places.


FICTION BY STEVEN WILLIAM RIMMER
───────────────────────────────────────
Coven, published by Ballantine Books, ISBN 0-345-35750-7. Coven
is a story about witchcraft in contemporary Wales. At present
it's fairly difficult to locate.

The Order, published by Jam Ink Publishing, ISBN 1-895268-02-8.
The Order is set in the Scottish highlands, in a decaying castle,
in the winter of 1882. It's the story of a young woman who finds
herself in the midst of a secret society whose members appear to
be killing each other. The secret society dates back to crusader
times... the mystery behind it dates back considerably further.


SHAREWARE AND REGISTRATION
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
If you like the Pagan Daybook and find it useful, you are
requested to support it, as outlined at the beginning of this
document. Doing so will entitle you to telephone support,
notification of updates, and other worthwhile things. It will
also avail you of a registration number to shut off the closing
beg notice. More to the point, though, it'll make you feel good.
We've not infested the Pagan Daybook with excessive beg notices,
crippled it or had it verbally insult you after ten days. We
trust you to support this software if you like it.

If you want to see additional features in the Pagan Daybook,
register it. If we had an Arcturian mega-dollar for everyone who
has said they'd most certainly register their copy if we'd add
just one more thing to it, we could buy ourselves a universe and
retire.

Oh yes, should you fail to support this program and continue to
use it, a leather winged demon of the night will tear itself,
shrieking blood and fury, from the endless caverns of the nether
world, hurl itself into the darkness with a thirst for blood on
its slavering fangs and search the very threads of time for the
throbbing of your heartbeat. Just thought you'd want to know
that.

including Ventura Publisher, Macintosh FONT and NFNT resources
and Windows FNT files. It requires a VGA card and a Microsoft-
compatible mouse.


DESKTOP PAINT (RELEASE THREE)
────────────────────────────────────
Desktop Paint is a powerful monochrome paint package fine tuned
for use with desktop publishing applications. It will read and
write image files in all the formats Graphic Workshop supports

fifteen or sixteen pictures to a page, depending on the image
orientation you choose. It supports all the file types that
Graphic Workshop handles, and will drive any PostScript or
LaserJet Plus compatible laser printer, including LaserJet II and
LaserJet III series printers. This is a complete re-write of
GrafCat... it now supports a file finder screen like the one in
Graphic Workshop and numerous print options. It will also
generate catalog images... arrays of full colour thumbnails...
and has in internal image viewing function.
