!Calibre - Version 3.02
Ray Favre
http://www.rayfavre.me.uk/dwapps.html
This version corrects a bug which was preventing some Red Letter Day
files from being saved to a different hard-disc/media.
The opportunity was taken also to upgrade to the latest Dr Wimp
version.
No changes to the Manual are needed.

!Calibre - authored with Dr Wimp - is an application to design and
print calendars of various formats in all shapes and sizes.
!Calibre offers:
- 5 different popular month-per-page formats;
- a month-per-page 'family' format;
- a week-per-page 'family' format;
- two year planners;
- a further year-per-page format.
Extensive user customisation - simply done - can take place around
these formats. (Default designs for the different formats are
supplied and can be changed by the user.)
The user determines:
- the calendar size;
- the position of the different elements;
- the background and text colours, fonts and text sizes for
year/month/week-number/dates/days - all independently. (Colours
includes 'no colour' (i.e. transparent) for backgrounds and
outlines.);
- the size/position of up to three picture areas, to show 'on
top' or 'underneath' other elements. Either JPEGs or Drawfiles can be
used. Picture scaling to the user-defined picture areas is automatic;
- up to 150 'Red Letter Days' (RLDs) per calendar year
(including, if required, additional text). The appearance of these
is part of the user-determined design of a calendar. RLDs are managed
simply but comprehensively, with options to generate English Public
Holidays and other key dates automatically.
The printing options allow a user-defined range of calendar pages and
copies to be printed e.g. the 12 months of a year - with different
pictures on each page if required. A step-through printing preview
facility is provided.
As supplied, !Calibre uses English for the Month & Days names (which
can be shown as Full, Shorter or Shortest e.g. January/Jan/J). Other
languages are also supplied and it is simple to add further languages
or to edit the existing ones.
Options to show Moon phases and 'ordinal' dates are provided.
A Manual is available for separate download in Impression Publisher,
Ovation Pro & HTML formats - and a plain text version is integrated
with the application.
