CALENDAR.TXT ============ This program operates under DOS and 8088/86+ cpu with EGA+ video card. It displays a calendar in the upper left hand corner of your screen. Initially the calendar displays the current month, but it can be adjusted by the following keys for 1583 - 9999. Have you an important letter with a day of week and month but no year and wish to see which years that day of week falls on the given day of month? LEFT - month RIGHT + month DN - year PGDN - 100 years UP + year PGUP + 100 years HOME return to current month/year ESC exit from program ================ Technical notes: This program is compressed with "CRISP" (Compressed Reduced Instruction Set Program), the author's proprietary technology which can be identified by the signature "LZ-B" in the EXE header. Both "CRISP" and "LZ-B" are trademarks of Lawrence Boothby Consulting I first became interested in compression when I encountered a piece of system software compressed with PKLITE. More recently I have enjoyed and benefited from Email conversations with Joergen Ibsen, the author of aPACK.EXE. Comparing LZ-B to aPACK version 0.94b, LZ-B saves 15 (decimal) bytes versus aPACK's 4 saved (this is probably a temporary victory, since Mr. Ibsen is currently focussing his attention on additional optimizations for small COM programs). No other compressor that I have tried was able to save any bytes at all on this very short program. ================ LICENSE AGREEMENT: The author and copyright holder, Lawrence E.
