1 First distribution of phoon, deltime, and libtws - 15nov86.
4 This package contains two programs and a library:
6 phoon - program to display the PHase of the mOON. Unlike other
7 such programs, which just tell you how long since first quarter
8 or something like that, phoon *shows* you the phase with a little
9 picture. I've put an example at the end of this file.
11 deltime - program to subtract date/times. Tells you the difference
12 between two date/times, or between now and a specified date/time.
13 I once used this to help a friend quit smoking - every time she
14 logged in, the computer told her how many days since her last
15 cigarette. I also use it in my .login, to tell me how old I am.
17 libtws - date/time library. Unlike the standard Unix(R)
18 date/time routines, libtws lets you parse a date/time string
19 into internal form. Most of this library came from version
20 6.5 of the MH message handling system, courtesy of Marshall Rose.
23 Files in this distribution:
27 deltime.c source for time subtraction tool
28 deltime.man manual for time subtraction tool
29 dtime.c source for most of the time routines
30 dtimep.lex source for time-parsing routine
31 lexedit.sed script to modify output of lex
32 lexstring.c front end for time-parsing routine
33 libtws.man manual for time library
34 parsetime.c source for test program
35 phoon.c source for phase of moon program
36 phoon.man manual for phase of moon program
37 tws.h include file for time library
40 Unpack the files, edit Makefile and change the options to suit,
41 make, and enjoy! I've tested this stuff under 4.2 BSD, 4.3 BSD,
42 and System V rel 2. Nevertheless, I'm sure bugs remain. Feedback
43 is welcome - send bug reports, enhancements, checks, money orders,
44 etc. to the addresses below.
