******************************************************************************************** Mini HOLIDAYS! is FREEWARE, so please enjoy with my compliments, however note there are No Guarantees. Comments and suggestions welcome. ******************************************************************************************** Along with its own files, Mini HOLIDAYS! requires: Windows 3.x and VBRUN300.DLL (not included). ******************************************************************************************** Thanks for trying Mini HOLIDAYS! Everything here is pretty much self explanitory. A Calendar, HOLIDAYS! List, Calculator, Clock (with stopwatch), and System monitor, all on your desktop in a little pillbox. Great to load from your Startup Group! HINT: Mini HOLIDAYS! is a good System monitor when minimized because it can stay "on top" (the check box on the Cover controls this). While you're using Mini HOLIDAYS!, click the "?" buttons on some of the tabs to learn how to use it, and more about its big brother HOLIDAYS!. Note that Mini HOLIDAYS! only contains a portion of the over 130 dates in the full Shareware version. I created Mini HOLIDAYS! mainly to try and promote its big brother, so if you enjoy Mini HOLIDAYS!, and what follows interests you, then please give HOLIDAYS! a look. Over 1,200 downloads can't be wrong! FINDING HOLIDAYS!: You can always find HOLIDAYS! in the Windows Shareware Forum on CompuServe (GO WINSHARE - Library 12 [PIM/Info Utils]). If you're not a CompuServe subscriber, you can send $5 to the address below, and I'll send you my Shareware disk. (If you later register HOLIDAYS!, you can deduct the $5 from the registration fee). ********************************************************************************** HOLIDAYS! for Windows v2.2 HOLIDAYS! is a multi-purpose program that I hope will bring you years of enjoyment, and help you to remember Holidays, and your own personally important dates, like anniversaries, and birthdays. VERY simply put, HOLIDAYS! is a date calculator, which calculates over 130 HOLIDAYS! for you to enjoy All Year, Every Year! However, unlike some programs, HOLIDAYS! does not come saddled down with large databases, because almost all the HOLIDAYS! are calculated. And when you add the special days of your family, and friends to the Anniversary File, you've consolidated a major (dare I say 90%) portion of the most important days of the year, in one place! So what can I do with them, now that they're all in one place? Well... HOLIDAYS! can be loaded "behind the scenes" every time you run Windows, to monitor for dates you wish to be reminded of. If it doesn't find any dates in the range you set, it simply unloads itself, as if it were never there at all (you'll never see a thing, unless it finds a HOLIDAYS!) If you don't like the idea of something running automatically when you start Windows, the Reminder will also remind you when you load HOLIDAYS! normally (if you choose). You can also Export all, or selected portions, of the HOLIDAYS! List to an ASCII text file, which can be read by most popular Organizers, Spreadsheets, and PIMs. Most of these applications DO NOT automatically include Holidays in their calendar, or date book features. However, most of these applications can Open, or Import ASCII .CSV files. In this fashion you can use HOLIDAYS! to "feed" your Organizer, Spreadsheet, or PIM with all the dates you could ever want, year after year! Can't remember how old someone is going to be? If you enter the exact date of birth, or wedding day, the anniversary feature automatically calculates how old they will be, or which anniversary is coming. Never send a gift for a 5 year old, to a 7 year old, again! Year after year, HOLIDAYS! knows how old they'll be. Not only can HOLIDAYS! remind you of important dates, but it also contains detailed descriptions for all the HOLIDAYS!. Simply double-click on any date in the HOLIDAYS! List, and up pops a description of the Holiday, when it was first observed, and other fun facts. Print/Display Calendars in 17 Languages! Moon Phases, and more... HOLIDAYS! has true context-sensitive Help! Simply press F1 at any time to view a Help topic related to the dialog you are working with, or menu item you're contemplating. As Shareware, you're free to evaluate HOLIDAYS! for 30 days. If you like it, and would like to continue using it, the registration fee is only $15. I think you'll find it's well worth it. Many have already registered HOLIDAYS!, and I'm proud to have people from Switzerland, Germany, England, Mexico, and Canada, among the many fine Americans who have done so . The "NET" is incredible! Thanks to all who have supported me so far! Whatever you do, please enjoy Mini HOLIDAYS! with my compliments! Thanks! I hope you find HOLIDAYS! useful, and interesting.
