- The screen display has underwent much internal recoding, I hope for
- the good. The screen now sets a minimum pixel display of 595x300 and
- uses scroll bars if this space is not available. If sized larger, it
- expands to fill the client window. This minimum 595x300 is a start,
- I'd like any feedback on monitors other than EGA. Let me know how the
- minimum display size and font sizes work on your display and what your
- maximum screen size is in pixels, and I might learn better
- adjustments.
-
- I have added the new feature of holiday display on the calendars.
- This information currently must reside in the default 'overlay'
- file, ALMANAC.AOL. This file is an ASCII text file, and can be
- editted with NOTEPAD or similar file editor. Each line of the file
- is used to describe an individual holiday or special date.
- Currently, three types of entries are recognized: FIXED, FLOAT, and
- the special case of Easter. A fixed date occurs on the same date
- every year. Float dates occur on different dates of the year in the
- manner of the first Monday, the last Friday, etc... Enter the
- information as follows:
-
- Fixed date -> MONTH DATEOFMONTH text<CR>
-
- Float date -> MONTH FIRSTPOSSIBLEDATE DAYOFWEEK text<CR>
-
- NOTE: Placing an asterisk as the first character of the text
- will cause the date to be marked in red on color displays.
-
- Examples:
-
- X 7 4 *Independence Day<CR> (Fixed date, July 4)
-
- F 10 8 1 *Columbus Day<CR> (Float, second Monday
- of October)
-
- The special case Easter requires no text, but requires two
- entries in the overlay, one for March and one for April.
-
- Currently, all dates must be in ascending order, and only the
- default file, ALMANAC.AOL, is processed. This will change, and
- multiple overlay files will be allowed. (Don't put too mush work into
- making ALMANAC.AOL contain everything for now).
-
- Also expect to add Wedding anniversaries soon.
