TrayDay v4.3d:
by MJM Software

TrayDay places an icon showing the date (day of the month) in the
system tray (the part of the taskbar which includes the clock). The
icon resembles a page of a "tear-off" calendar.

You can therefore see the date at a glance - often quicker and easier
than resting your mouse over the clock, searching for an "Insert Date"
menu, or having to reach for your diary. Move the mouse over the icon
and the day of the week will appear.

By placing a shortcut to TrayDay.exe in your startup folder, you
can have the date always available. (Hint: Using the Explorer, right
click and drag swatch.exe; drop into the startup folder; choose create
shortcut from the popup menu.)

Double click on the icon with the left mouse button to copy the date
to the clipboard, ready for pasting into an application. The format can
be short or long date as defined in the Regional Settings of your
Control Panel, or user-defined. Select "Options" from the menu dis-
played by right-clicking the icon; select "Help" from the Options
dialog for further information. Note the user-defined character unique
to TrayDay: include "D" in your user format to give the ordinals
"1st", "2nd", "3rd" etc.

This copy function is also available by selecting "Copy Date" from the
menu which appears if you right-click the icon; this also enables you
to select the date format without changing the options.

*** New to version 4.3+ is "Auto-Insert". If this option is selected,
then when you double-click the icon, or select "Insert Date", the date
is copied to the clipboard AND pasted into your application at the
insertion point. So with your favourite word processor running, simply
double-click the icon and the date is "typed in" for you. [Note that
this does not function in a dialog box, or in a window with no
"Edit/Paste" menu item. If the date does not appear, press CTRL-V to
paste it from the clipboard manually.] ***

Because other applications may add icons to the system tray, the
TrayDay icon may move further away from the clock (assuming that you
have your taskbar either at the top or bottom of the screen). Select
"Shift Icon" from the right click menu, to move the icon to beside the
clock. Under options - startup behaviour - you can choose to have
TrayDay shift the icon automatically 1 minute after starting. This is
particularly useful if TrayDay is in your startup folder with other
applications: the order in which icons are added to the tray is diffi-
cult to determine. Choosing this option gets round this by moving the
icon to the clock after other applications have loaded. [Note that this
paragraph only applies to the Registered version.]

Other menu items are Register (see below), and Exit.
