V14.9 is now available for download from:
http://www.stokepoges.plus.com
and, within the next few days, from Simtel at:
http://www.simtel.net/pub/dl/55320.shtml
Enhancements and improvements include:
When using "Reminders by Month", days earlier in the current year or
last year (see new "Last Year" option button below), associated with
out-of-date reminders, are now highlighted in blue. Left-clicking a
"blue day" shows the out-of-date reminder(s) for that day.
Added a "Last Year" option button to "Reminders by Month" enabling
out-of-date reminders to be viewed right back to the beginning of last
year.
Added a new command button "Factor Calculator" for finding (a) the prime
factors of any positive integer up to 60 digits in length, using
highly efficient code for factorising integers developed by Shamus
Software (http://indigo.ie/~mscott), and (b) the Highest Common Factor
(HCF) and Least Common Multiple (LCM) of a list of up to 20 integers
separated by commas. There is a size limitation of 2147483647 on any
integers listed and on any calculated LCM.
A relatively fast CPU is required for factorising large integers
quickly. Users who wish to factorise integers larger than 10^60 - 1 may
also use the Shamus Software code (factor.exe) from a command prompt for
integers up to 10^80 - 1.
Enhanced the "What time is it in?" capabilities by adding the
identification of Time Zone abbreviations and the calculation of their
time offsets relative to GMT (UTC) and also relative to "local", i.e.
relative to the city or town specified by a user using Calendar Magic's
"Set Location" button. There are currently around 130 Time Zone
abbreviations in the drop-down list. More can easily be added if
requested.
Added conversion to and from Roman numerals via a new category "Roman
Numerals" in the Unit Converter.
Hindu festivals may now be listed for years in the range 2000 to 2043
(the previous upper limit was 2031). The new data is also incorporated
into Indian observed day lists.
In the Time Calculator, if no time is entered in the left data input box
for a calculation, the current time is now assumed.
Restructured error handling. With the exception of the Scientific
Calculator, error messages are now displayed using standard Visual Basic
message boxes. This simplifies the handling of error messages, enables
Status Display text-boxes to be removed from some Calendar Magic forms,
and makes debugging easier in certain situations.
Enjoy!
