=======================

-- readme.txt   -- which you obviously have found, 

-- file_id.diz  -- a general desription text file, and

  INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
_______________________________
===============================
Pagan Daybook II is a Windows calendar which will help you 
keep track of the festivals and observances of the pagan 
calendar phases of the moon and the ancient and modern tides 
by the days of the week. It can be configured as both a 
stand-alone application to greet you when your computer 
wakes up each morning and as a Windows screen saver. Pagan 
Daybook II features an extensive database of observances, 
full colour graphics, sound, animation and various bits of 
magick.

The festivals and other occurrences in Pagan Daybook II are 
a fusion of numerous traditions. They include Greek, Celtic, 
Roman and Norse feasts, and quite a few other dates which   
have traditionally been observed somewhere in Europe at some 
time in the past. You can amend the internal calendar of    
Pagan Daybook II with festivals of your own and use your own 
graphics in place of the ones included in Pagan Daybook II. 

Pagan Daybook II contains references to pagan beliefs - 
you probably figured that from the title - and details from 
numerous paintings which date back to before the days of 
political correctness. Some of the figures portrayed therein 
aren't wearing very much. If either of these things offends 
you, please remove this software from your system.

Pagan Daybook II is also available in a 16 bit version for 
Windows 3.1 and 3.11. The latest releases of both this 32 bit 
and the 16 bit versions can be found at:
