Date Calc

The date calc program exists to assist Family Historians calculate
dates from any two of the three following elements

1.	Birth Date
2.	Event Date
3.	Age at Event

For example

From the Age shown on the census and the census date an approximate
birth year can be calculated.

From a wedding date and birth date an age at marriage can be
calculated.

From a death age and date on gravestone an approximate birth date can
be calculated.

This is the first release of the program and is not guaranteed.


The program is developed in delphi and comes in two versions one for
windows 3.1 and one for Windows 95.  It should work on Windows NT,
but I do not have access to a NT system.


Once the program is started a form with the following controls is
shown.

Date Of Birth	-	in windows specified format e.g. DD/MM/YYYY in UK
					MM/DD/YYYY in USA

Date of Event	-	this could be death or wedding or census etc.

Age at event 	-	this is split into years, months and days. Any
number may 
					be entered up to 999 in each field and the
					calculation will still work.

Calculate Radio Button Set
					The three buttons allow you to select what you
					would like to calculate.

Auto Copy to Clipboard
					When this is checked on pressing the Update
					button the result will be passed into the
					clipboard ready for pasting in to another
					program.
Update Button		Performs the calculation.

About Button		Shows details of the program and how to contact the 
					author.
					
Close Button		Closes the program					


This program should convert to the US date format e.g. MM/DD/YYYY based on the settings in windows for the system. 

I have not been able to check this, please let me know if it
does not work.


Use and enjoy.

Version Notes

1.0 initial release

1.0b	Fixed (hopefully) where a additional number of days meant an error of 
		a month in the result.  It may still be out by a day and I will endeavour to resolve it as time allows.

		Added Close Button
