Description
-----------
   If you happen to work with stone age Operating Systems such as MVS you may
   find yourself running around trying to find a calendar that still has
   the day of the year printed on it (sometimes incorrectly refered to as
   the Julian date). Having no such calendar available, I wrote this Freeware
   OS/2 PM utility that will convert a Gregorian to a Julian date and vice
   versa. The utility handles from the year 1753 to the point that we'll all
   be dust and correctly accounts for leap years. It should function under
   OS/2 2.x and Warp and has been tested using OS/2 2.11 and Warp.

Installation
------------
   Simply unzip the DAYOYEAR.EXE and DAYOYEAR.HLP files into the same
   directory or install DAYOYEAR.EXE into a directory that appears in the
   PATH statement of the CONFIG.SYS file and install DAYOYEAR.HLP into a
   directory appearing in the HELP statement.

   You can create an icon for the program by opening the Templates folder
   of the OS/2 System icon and dragging a program icon to the Desktop or
   a folder of your choice. Enter the full drive, path, and filename of the
   DAYOYEAR.EXE file on the "Program" page of the notebook that will appear
   and edit the title on the "General" page of the same notebook.

Operation
---------
   Just enter the four digit year in the YYYY box and either the Julian
   date in the DDD box or Gregorian date in the MM and DD boxes and press
   the "Convert" button. If you are converting a Gregorian date to a Julian
   date, make sure the Julian box is empty.

   The boxes and buttons can be selected using the mouse or the "Tab" key
   and the cursor will auto-tab to the next field if the field is filled
   completely (for instance; entering 02 for the month).

The legal stuff
---------------

   BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
   FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
   WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
   PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
   EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
   IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
   PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
   PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
   THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

Known Bugs
----------

   None so far; but this is version 1.0 ;-)  If any are found and reported,
   they will be fixed when time is available (like everyone else, I still
   have to work).



   Peace and enjoy,
