V14.7 is now available for downloading at:

http://www.stokepoges.plus.com

and, within the next few days, at:

http://www.simtel.net/pub/dl/55320.shtml

New features and bug fixes include:

Added a Help button for displaying the bookmarked readme.pdf file.

When printing from Calendar Magic screens containing a print button, a
printer font size may now be specified.

Added a "Print Month with Reminders" command button to the Reminders by
Month screen. The size of the font may again be specified when producing
print-out.

In all cases, respecified printer font sizes are "remembered" by
Calendar Magic for future use.

In Enlarged View mode (entered by pressing the F11 function key), a spin
button has been provided for decreasing/increasing the display font
size. The font size is changed in steps of 1 and is currently restricted
to lie in the range 8 to 20.

Added circular rings (annuli) to the list of 2D objects in the geometry
calculator.

In "What time is it in?", when DST is "on" for any location, the
location's current Time Zone offset now includes the adjustment of +1
hour for DST. In previous releases, the unadjusted Time Zone offset was
displayed.

Whenever an alarm is set, a message in the Alarm Clock status display
now reminds users not to close Calendar Magic.

In the scientific calculator, when an error occurs, the tool-tip text
for the main display now changes to describe how to clear the error
message. Once the error message is cleared, the tool-tip text reverts
back to the normal "Main display - left-click to copy value to
clipboard."

In the scientific calculator, more helpful error messages are now
generated in error situations for x^y calculations.

One of the explanatory tool-tips for star polygons was not being reset
properly for other 2D and 3D geometrical objects. This minor bug has
been fixed.

Re-organised and improved the readme file to highlight various points.
Added a section on the use of the seven stack independent memories in
the scientific calculator.

Switched to pdfFactory Pro for the creation of Calendar Magic's readme
file.

Enjoy!

Yes, that was a beta version of V14.7 I sent you.

Right. But what I meant was that I should have checked the version
number on the copy I was using before posting about the "version 1.4".

I have a problem with this program, I wonder if anyone has had the same
thing happen and/or the very kind author can enlighten me?

When I open the program, the main display shows an error: "File not found
error" (it doesn't say what file it's not finding). Otherwise, the program
seems to work ok, except if I select "Years calendars" the calendar display
remains blank even though "Gregorian" shows in the pull-down menu. The
problem is fixed by choosing something in the pull-down (including
"Gregorian"), so not really a problem, I'm mentioning it mostly for
diagnostic purposes.

I had this problem with the previous version I had installed too, so it's
not a bug in v14.7 (though installing the new version, and then
reinstalling it again, didn't fix it either). I'm running it on WinXP Home.

(A great program anywyay, congratulations and thanks to Alex Balfour!)

TIA,
Anna

Anna,

I'll look into it for you.

I've already written to Alex separately, but I think I should let the group
know. The problem I had was not with Calendar Magic after all, but with my
application launcher which didn't detect the startup path.

Basically, launching CM without the startup folder specified causes the
"File not found" problem that I had experienced. If the folder is
specified, all is well.

As I said, I was launching the program from a shortcut bar which hadn't
copied the startup folder from the original shortcut (correctly created by
the installer for CM).

Alex has been extremely helpful in trying to solve this problem, which
turned out not to be his fault at all!

Ciao,
Anna
