CALENDAR Version 2.5
"the only calendar that you will ever need"
_____________________________________________
Written by Robert M. W. Tsou, M.D. in Turbo Pascal
This is a handy perpetual calendar which is unique in that
it will also calculate and display most of our major holidays
for the given month/year. The holidays should be perpetually
accurate even if they fall on different dates year ater year.
(Sorry, no Easter as the logic for it is too complicated to
work out.)
The other feature of this calendar which is not immediately
obvious is that it is also a historical chronicle of world
events. By pressing the [Down Arrow] key repeatedly, one can
go back in time and important world events that happened
at that given month in history will be displayed (for example,
December 7, 1941: the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, etc.)
One may speed up the forwarding and backwarding of years by
pressing the + or - keys which will forward or backward the
calendar 10 years at a time.
This program is intuitively simple to use and is self expla-
natory. You do not need a manual to run it.
By the way, since I am only a hobbyist programmer, I do not
expect to be paid for "having fun," so this program is free
for all to copy and use without fee; however, I do have a
single request: please distribute this program far and wide
so more people can use it.
Have fun!
