About EuroSoft -------------- Calendar Magic was developed by EuroSoft. Contact details are: EuroSoft 50 Freemans Close Stoke Poges Slough Berkshire SL2 4ER England Phone: +44-1753-662015 FAX: +44-1753-664328 Email: 100527.2405@compuserve.com Versions of Calendar Magic -------------------------- Calendar Magic is available in two versions: 1. A shareware version 2. A registered version. The shareware version is fully functional but, over time, users will experience a longer and longer delay, on initiation, before the main screen appears. This is to enable you to try out all of Calendar Magic's capabilities before purchase, but also to encourage you to acquire a registered version should you continue to use the product after initial evaluation. The registration fee is 10 British Pounds (around $15 to $16 U.S. at current March, 1996 rates). Further registration information may be found later in this file. Installing The Shareware Version of Calendar Magic -------------------------------------------------- The shareware version of Calendar Magic V2.0 is provided as a single "ZIP" file, calmag.zip. You should unzip this file, using a product such as WinZip, and store its contents in a temporary directory, for example c:\temp. To install Calendar Magic on a Windows (3.x or 95) based system, run the program setup.exe in your temporary directory. The default installation directory is c:\calmagic but you are given the opportunity to specify another directory and/or drive. The following files should be present: calendar.exe Main executable file (shareware version) sun.ico Program icon file readme.txt The file you are reading setup.exe Setup program setup.dta Setup configuration file logo.bmp Setup graphics file msafinx.dll System file threed.vbx Visual Basic extension for 3D command buttons etc. vbrun300.dll Visual Basic 3.0 run-time file The first six files are installed in the directory you specified. The remaining three are installed in your \windows\system directory, provided that more recent versions of these files do not already exist in that directory. Calendar Magic as a Company Promotional Item -------------------------------------------- Calendar Magic is a highly cost effective way of promoting any company and maintaining contact details on clients' PCs. Would your company like to distribute copies of Calendar Magic to its clients, showing your company name and contact details on the main Calendar Magic screen? EuroSoft is able to produce customised versions of Calendar Magic for any company. Contact EuroSoft with your requirements. Additional company or country specific dates and events can easily be incorporated, as can longer lists of contact names, phone numbers etc.. Additional Days, Events and Dates of National Significance ---------------------------------------------------------- If you would like any additional days, events or dates added to Calendar Magic, which are of significance in your country, please send the details to EuroSoft for inclusion in a future release of the product. Details required are: 1. Country 2. Day/event/date of significance. 3. How is the date calculated each year? Is the event always on the same date (e.g. January 7) or, if not, how is the date determined each year (e.g. second Tuesday in March)? Anyone providing significant new material, which is added to Calendar Magic, will be sent a free copy of the updated product. Limitations and Restrictions ---------------------------- Calendar Magic is designed to handle Gregorian calendar dates from January 1, 1753 to December 31, 9999. However, the selection of national event dates (click on the "Calendar Facts" button) is only produced for years from 1990 onwards, because of the obvious dangers of producing such information for years too far in the past. With regard to the signs of the Zodiac, different reference sources provide slightly different versions of the starting and ending dates for the periods covered by the various signs. For example, one reference source may state that the period covered by Taurus starts on April 20 and another may indicate April 21. As a result, Calendar Magic provides alternatives in these border-line situations. Problems, Comments and Suggestions ---------------------------------- EuroSoft is committed to ensuring that its products are of the highest quality. Any problems reported will be investigated fully, and any comments and suggestions submitted will be carefully evaluated. All problem descriptions, comments and suggestions should be mailed, FAXed or Emailed to EuroSoft using the contact details given earlier in this file.
