It can be useful for researching facts and dates from the distant past, taking into account the history of calendars since the year 46 BC, including later reforms (e.g., transitioning from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar) across 31 countries (such as England, Poland, the USA, and Russia). The program allows for basic calendar calculations such as: Determining the day of the week, day number, and numerological sum of a date. Calculating the distance between two dates. Specifying a date distant by a given period from another date. User-oriented information is displayed in a visually appealing format when using a color-capable terminal. The program results can be exported to TXT and HTML formats—especially useful for designing personal calendars.
In the basic free. version - only monthly calendars are generated and the full calendar can only be obtained for the current year. In addition - in calendar calculations, the distance given cannot exceed 100 days and the dates given must be from the current year! The pro version requires the installation of a license key and has no such limitations.
