WorkPlaceCalendar v0.8

This is a tool that creates objects with calendar information on your desktop.


Start WPCalendar.cmd without a parameter to create an object with the actual month calendar on your desktop. To actualize the object on another day, just double click it. Feel free to drop a shadow of this object to your startupfolder, to actualize it at system start.

For best calendar display, change the font of your folder, where the object is placed, to a proportional font. WarpSans is a non-proportional font, but works quite well, too. 


Use of non-proportional fonts will result in bad formating of the object text table.


Start WPYear.cmd to create a folder with 12 month objects for a complete year.

The syntax is:

WPYear.cmd xxxx
where xxxx is a year number in 4 digits, e.g. 2007.

Start it without any parameter to build a calendar for the current year.


Open a month object in the year calendar will open a userdefinable editor (see WPCALENDAR.cmd, line EDITPRG) with a data file. There you can add notes and terms for the month. Don't forget to save the file (do not use 'save as', dont change the file name or directory, use simple 'save') The files will be saved in your WPCalendar directory, in subdirectory '..\terms'.


Note for users of eCs Trashcan or similar Trashcan tools:
If you delete objects like WPCalendars, they will be moved to Trashcan. Depending on your Trashcan settings they will not be deleted, only moved. If you use one of the WPCALENDAR scripts after deleting the objects, no new objects will be created, but the old objects in Trashcan will be updated. This is not a bug in WPCALENDAR, its the fragging behaviour of Trashcan.


You may download new versions from http://www.subsys.de/WPWeather
(site under construction)


Note that the week count (first column in object text) counts the first week of the year from the first monday or sunday in the current year. This differs from some standards and may be changed in future.

To switch from weeks start between monday and sunday you have to edit the WPCalendar.cmd at the beginning (take a look at the tagged line).
