Welcome!

We have enjoyed producing this tool kit which brings together in one package the resolution of many of the challenges posed by dates and internationalization.  It also complements the ProDomus string looks (PDLookup and PDDrops) with a comparable tool for dates.

As in other ProDomus programs, the installation results in a list of files and their locations in a file called DIR.TXT.  Files are distributed to CW subdirectories so that they can be found
without modification of the redirection file.  Both DLL's and library files are provided, allowing the library to be compiled within your exe regardless of the settings of the application
itself.  Unlike other ProDomus programs, source code has been included for some of the major functions.

4/5/98 Changes

Holliday function modified to include Thanksgiving.

Final Release Change

The week calculation function has been modified to properly assign the last days of a year to the next year when the first week of the year is the first week in which the first falls.  

Last Minute Changes

A new function PDDT_Easter has been added at the last minute.  The code for this is also included.  This returns the Clarion date for Easter from the year of a passed date. It is included in the PDDT_IsHoliday function.

For 16 bit applicatins, code has been added to the templates to get language information from the DTE file by specifying a language code.  The language code may be gotten from the win.ini file or from a variable.  You may also specify a default language code.  A list of language codes may be viewed when running the MakeDte utility.

PDDT.Doc has also been added to the installation.  This is a copy of the helf file text.

As always, comments and suggestions are appreciated.  We welcome support requests as a way to improving future product releases.


        Enjoy!
