Calendar Magic

Calendar Magic - Full year and monthly calendars for 26 different calendar systems. Alternative planning calendars. A month-by-month, side-by-side comparison of any two of the calendar systems. The display remains synchronized as you change day, month and year values in either calendar system being viewed. Date conversions among the supported calendar systems. British regnal date conversion. Lists of Western Christian, Eastern Orthodox, Buddhist, Chinese, Hebrew, Hindu, Islamic, Baha'i and Sikh festivals. "Observed Days" for any year from 1990 for around 230 countries worldwide. "Date Detective" command button to tabulate the weekday on which a specified Gregorian date d/m occurs for each of the years in the specified range y1 to y2. The ability to create, display, update and delete reminders for events (birthdays, anniversaries, meetings etc.). A Quick Notes facility. Alarm clock and stopwatch facilities. A time calculator for performing arithmetic with times. "This is your life" information including day-of-the-week on which you were born, number of days you have lived etc. Number of days between any two dates in the Gregorian calendar. Calculation of the date n days, weeks, months or years before or after a specified Gregorian date, where n is a whole number. Special Julian to Gregorian change-over calendars for various countries. Solar and lunar astronomical data. Distances between any two of 18000 locations across the world. Current local time and date in any of these 18000 locations.

• System Tray - As requested by several users, the main screen of Calendar Magic now minimises to the System Tray by default. There is a new Check Box (Options > General > Minimise to the System Tray) for turning this off, if you prefer to minimise the main screen to the task bar.
• Date and Time Converter - Added a "Date and Time Converter" (Time > What Time is it in? > Date and Time Converter) for converting a date and time from one time zone to another. This can be useful for arranging meetings when several time zones are involved or when participating in eBay auctions. Suggested by a user in New Zealand.
• Accented Characters in Data - Some Windows System Locales used in Asian countries trigger errors when Calendar Magic processes data files containing accented characters. These errors should no longer occur with Calendar Magic now switching seamlessly to equivalent data files with all diacritic marks removed.
• Planning Calendars - Added a new type of planning calendar "Calendar with North American Week Numbers".
• Expression Calculator - Added a function solve(f;x) for finding a real root of the user defined function f given a rough guess x of its value. For example, if a user defines the function poly(x) = x^3 + 3*x^2 + 7*x -15, a root near 2 of this function may be calculated by using the input solve(poly;2) to obtain the value 1.229494219409. More detailed information is available in the Expression Calculator section of this document. The angle measure chosen (degrees or radians) is now a "sticky" value.
• Equation Solver - Altered the last section of output to make it, hopefully, more meaningful and easier to extend in the future to higher order polynomials.
• Observed Days - Added Kalevala's Day (Feb. 28) to the list of Observed Days for Finland. Added Assumption (Aug. 15) and the Immaculate Conception (Dec. 8) to the list of Observed Days for Malta. Added World Backup Day (Mar. 31) to the list of Observed Days common to many countries.
