I used to have a program "Days" that I could use to convert old church
record entries (such as 22 Sunday after Trinity) to a Gregorian calendar
date. I believe "Days" worked on my old (and now discarded) Win95
machine. Of course, the program will not work on Win7 or Win10.
Is there a Win7 program that will help making those types of conversions?

look at the preview of W10 (shudder!) & found I could get some ancient
programs (Office 95 etc) to work by selecting the appropriate menu
option which I think is also available on Win 7. I think this was a
menu presented at install time but as I've now wiped that machine in
favour of testing BSD as a replacement for Linux I can't check.
You could also ask Mr Google as there may well be web sites for that.
http://www.tondering.dk/claus/calendar.html might be a good place to start.

It looks like Calendar Magic can do this. See .
http://www.stokepoges.plus.com/calendar.htm
I'm not sure how 'automatic' it is though and it does have a
limitation of a start year which is 1583. (Trinity Sunday falls on 5th
June in that year)
Cheers,

Interesting comment on that site that even as early as 1492, the
ecclesiastical year
began on 1 January.
I have been looking at Heredis, which is of French origin, and has
a Web site for its trees.
It has a widget for ecclesiastical dates in the right-hand column.

That is what the site's calculator takes it as. The same note appears
for 1066, and probably all the years.

With great help from Steimar, I found that by googling "days.exe" and
not just "days" and then found a download site
<http://days-version-32.software.informer.com/2.0/>
I was baffled at first by the site which appeared to be a "convert any
file to PDF" program.
Yes, the download worked, installed and looks just like the earlier
version I had used since the mid 1990s.
Thank you to all for several other suggestions.
