Short: THE calendar creator for FW & Pagestream Author: Ron Goertz Uploader: rgoertz@wsu.edu Type: util/rexx Replaces: util/rexx/FWCalendar* A macro for creating calendars in Final Writer v4+ and PageStream v3+, and a macro for adding events to those calendars. Features: Over 100 user-definable variables Same program works with Final Writer & PageStream! Calendars are fully resizable by changing only the margins - no need to change font sizes! Start the calendar on any day of the week (eg, Monday, Tuesday, ..., Sunday) Mini calendars "Shadowed" days from previous/next months Different backgrounds for weekends, highlights, and holidays Option to print full year on a single page Add Julian dates Add sunrise/sunset times (via SunCalc) Add sequential week numbers Automatic holidays Multiple holidays on a day Easter and Easter-based events can be included Single-day events Multi-day/week events Multiple-line events Repeated weekly events Boxed events Fully localized Full control over colors and fonts Test Mode to verify variables (FW version only) Separate settings for Monthly and Yearly calendars Launch a program or macro after the calendar is done Y2K Compliant! CALENDAR MACRO HISTORY 3.15 16 Feb 99 Changed a command to allow macro to work with pre-v 3.4 PageStream 3.10 14 Feb 99 Added StretchDate variable Added Font.Highlight variable (can be different from Font.Date) Improved French translation file (thanks Pierre!) Improved print routines to allow both single and double quotes CAUTION: Calendars created not compatible with pre-v 3.10 AddEvent.rexx Allowed for the absence of any Highlight data 3.05 13 Feb 99 Added Swedish FWCalendar.data file (thanks Börje!) Added option to print week number Added text colors for Julian days, weeknumbers, and sunrise/sunset times Added text prefixes for Julian days, weeknumbers, and sunrise/sunset times 3.02 7 Feb 99 Fixed an even smaller bug in TestMode 3.01 6 Feb 99 Fixed a small bug in TestMode 3.00 1 Feb 99 Extensive re-write - CHECK YOUR VARIABLES! Fully scaleable Works on Final Writer AND Pagestream Fully localizable (see localization) Updated Spanish data file Added Julian dates Added sunrise/sunset times (via SunCalc) Added the ability to launch a program or macro after the calendar is done 2.25 29 Dec 98 Separate data files can be used for Yearly and Monthly calendars Added 'Orientation' ('Tall' or 'Wide') to variables Multiple highlights on a single date improved (NO limitations!) Floating date for Easter determined Events based on time-after-Easter added (see Installation instructions) Fixed the part of the Guide explaining how floating dates are calculated Fixed the entry for calculating Thanksgiving (wrong on a recent upload, though previously working?) Fixed the year for mini-calendars printed at the turn of the year (also wrong on a recent upload, though previously working) 2.20 10 Oct 98 Multiple highlights on a single date are now allowed (see Highlights) 2.15 Allowed true cancellation of the "Save changes to document?" requestor Added a TestMode to check the variables in the FWCalendar.data file. Corrected the order in which user variables are read; resulted in the proper use of localized values for BlackName and WhiteName. If Extended mode is turned off, the empty boxes are no longer drawn 2.10 Moved ALL user variables to FWCalendar.data file Added control over colors for about everything (see variables) Re-wrote (cleaned up) LOTS of the code 2.05 Not a version change, because it's exactly the same as the previous version 2.05 without my mistake of accidentally commenting out two essential lines. Do have some updates to the German and Italian translation (FWCalendar.data) files, though. SORRY! 2.05 Deleted my hard-coded margins. Oops! Canned the FW requestors in favor of Reqtools requestors Changed the way the upper area (the area with the mini-calendars and the month name) is calculated to allow for hard-coding margins (Dieter Zimmermann wanted his calendars to appear on the lower half of a portrait-oriented page, presumably to allow the addition of a picture on the upper half. Good idea, Dieter!) 2.0 Now 'localized' for American, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portugese 1.4 Full-year calendar now fills the full page Font widths now work 1.3 Fixed macro to allow use of a comma for the decimal point instead of the period 1.2 Added box/bold of highlight dates in mini-calendars Added option to print full year of calendars on a single page 1.1 de-Americanized macro (no longer assumes US Letter paper and inch units) 1.01 Corrected default margins Removed my personal highlights Set default fonts to more likely locations 1.0 First release ADDEVENT MACRO HISTORY 3.15 16 Feb 99 Changed a command to allow macro to work with pre-v 3.4 PageStream 3.10 14 Feb 99 Improved print routines to allow both single and double quotes CAUTION: Not compatible with pre-v 3.10 FWCalendars 3.00 1 Feb 99 Fully localizable (see localization) Can use either MUIRexx (recommended) or Gui4Cli 2.50 29 Dec 98 Fixed some calls that may or may not have caused some people problems 2.45 10 Oct 98 Modified slightly to work around the fact that on some machines the Gui4Cli routine signalled that it was done before it really was. 2.40 Accommodated changes in FWCalendar.data file 2.35 Accommodated the upper-area-calculation change made in FWCalendar.rexx macro. 2.3 Fixed bug that didn't allow the close gadget to work Now 'localized' for American, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portugese 2.2 Can now (indirectly) enter the '$' in events (see User Variables) 2.1 Fixed macro to allow use of a comma for the decimal point instead of the period 2.0 Now REQUIRES Gui4Cli, but what an improvement! Can enter weekly events 1.2 de-Americanized macro (no longer assumes US Letter paper and inch units) 1.1 Corrected default margins Set default fonts to more likely locations Added multi-line, auto-breaking, non-boxed events 1.0 First release ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 717 334 53.4% 10-Sep-98 22:50:36 FWCalendar.info 25375 7265 71.3% 16-Feb-99 22:30:20 +AddEvent.rexx 1762 679 61.4% 15-Feb-99 11:12:38 +FWCalendar.data 1987 881 55.6% 15-Feb-99 11:17:54 +FWCalendar.data 1945 876 54.9% 15-Feb-99 11:15:52 +FWCalendar.data 1377 688 50.0% 15-Feb-99 11:17:04 +FWCalendar.data 55909 14946 73.2% 17-Feb-99 17:47:20 +FWCalendar.Guide 43941 11146 74.6% 16-Feb-99 22:21:30 +FWCalendar.rexx 3250 853 73.7% 22-Dec-98 11:58:26 +FWCalendarE.data 1053 502 52.3% 15-Feb-99 11:16:48 +FWCalendar.data 734 386 47.4% 15-Feb-99 11:16:22 +FWCalendar.data 1929 827 57.1% 15-Feb-99 11:16:06 +FWCalendar.data -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 139979 39383 71.8% 20-Feb-99 01:00:22 12 files
