ALMAVIEW  V1.1   October 23,1991

          Almaview is an auto-boot program for use in conjunction
     with the program St Almanac.  It scans the files created by
     St Almanac at boot time and displays any special events or
     holidays scheluded for the current date.

     Setup
          Put Almaview in the 'AUTO' folder of your boot disk.
     The program reads the system clock for the correct date so
     it should run after an auto-booting date setting program to
     work properly. (There's lots of these around as well as folder
     sort programs to get auto programs to execute in a desired
     order).
          If you don't have a hard drive Almaview won't be as
     useful since you probably wouldn't have the almanac files
     on the same disk as your boot programs.  However I could
     suggest that you make a copy of DATES.CAL from your almanac 
     disk and place it on your boot disk so that the dates file
     can be read by Almaview  whenever you turn on the computer
          After that's done run ALMANC21.PRG and make sure that
     the paths for DATES.CAL, ALMANAC.ALM and the path for the
     appointments files are set properly. Then select the 'Config
     Almaview' option from the main screen's menu bar.  When you
     get the gem file selector locate the the program ALMAVIEW and
     press OK. The routine will rewrite ALMAVIEW.PRG to contain
     the paths and files you currently have set for St Almanac.

          Whenever you boot the computer it'll scan the almanac files
     and display whatever's on for that date.

          After displaying the data it'll wait 10 seconds
     before continuing. Pressing the help key will hold the display
     until another key is pressed.  Pressing any other key will
     continue to the next program immediately.

          'ALMAVIEW.PRG' is a short version of 'ALVIEWER' which
     does the same thing but also displays a special event for
     each date of the year and contains a date/time setting option.
