Tiny but useful software

[Nesikep]

I just made a little program that adds/subtracts dates... it's tiny, has a little memo pad on it, has some common times (ie: 286 days) and "remembers" all your last settings, really handy for figuring out when cows will calf or come into heat

If anyone wants to try it, send me a PM and I'll email it to you.. unless someone knows of a website I can post it on... and I'll also take suggestions on improving it too

Oh, yeah... it's free unless you insist it should be otherwise
It should work on any Microsoft windows system

Cool!

OK, I've found a way to post this to a website

http://www.mediafire.com/file/99n3d4dp3 ... erence.zip Zipped Archive
http://www.mediafire.com/file/24istn14d ... erence.exe Directly usable file

Theoretical instructions..
Download file of your choice, and put it where you can remember... If you download the zipped archive, unzip the file to a place you can remember
If you don't put it on the desktop, I suggest rightclicking it and selecting "Send to --> Desktop (Create shortcut)"

That should be all there is to it... if anyone has any problems, let me know, as well as features I should add (or remove)... my object is to keep this as bare-bones as possible though... if there are other "common times" you'd like to see, I can add them to future revisions

If there are installation failures, there is a chance you *might* need the microsoft .NET framework 4... which is downloadable form microsoft (somewhere), but right now I need to get back to the ranch and check on cows... I'll be checking back next friday

EDIT: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa569263 is the download location for the .net framework... I don't know if that would be a problem to which I don't know exists yet.. but it's a possiblility... Hey, it's a microsoft product after all, anything is possible

I checked the file before I uploaded it for viruses, but it never hurts to check it again

good luck all, hope you find it useful

Hey thanks! That's a pretty handy calculator for when you can't find the redbook. I added "datedifference" to my Excel file livestock records.

I just hate excel... I use it, but it drives me nuts..

One note I have to add about this little software, is that it requires the microsoft .NET framwork version 4, which is like 50 megs and kinda defeats the purpose of a tiny program.. I'm working on making it compatible with older versions.. I think people running windows Vista will have no problem with it, but I know with windows XP I had to upgrade
