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 <boothbyl@reed.edu>

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.
