What is it?
===========

WinMdate is a win32s descendent of Mdate, the Unix/Linux commandline
utility for displaying/manipulating Mayan calendar dates.

At present WinMdate only reproduces the default display of Mdate, that
is, the current date. On startup it displays a splash screen, then minimizes to the system tray. Date display is either in the tooltip, or by double-clicking to restore the main display.

But wait, there's more! You ALSO get, free of charge, the console
versions of Mdate 1.0.3 itself, so you can manipulate dates to your
hearts content!

How do I install it?
====================

Binary releases of WinMdate currently use an installation program. You can simply run Setup.exe, which will do the rest.

Note: copy the programs cmdate.exe and pmdate.exe somewhere in your path. They are not part of the main installation, but are included for completeness of the port.

Why a Windows version?
======================

Because noone offered to when I asked :) Now that people have access
to a decent Windows programming environment with the recent free
release of C++ Builder 3.0, it behooved me to do the porting work
myself. It also means that I can include the source code to give
others a shot at improving it if they wish, or simply to learn
something about Windows coding.

What do you do with it?
=======================

Let it sit in your system tray and count down to the end of the
Great Cycle :) (22nd December, 2012!). Right-click on the system tray icon for more options. Don't forget to double-click to see the default display.

Enjoy!
