Looking for a calendar program for use in a Win7 CMD window.

#1 Post by AMATX » Tue Apr 27, 2010 8:16 pm

My current quickie calendar program runs 16-bit in a command window, under WinXP. I just type in something like 'cal mar 2003' and get this text displayed in the command window:

..............March 2003

Sun..Mon..Tue..Wed..Thu..Fri..Sat

..........................................1
..2.....3......4......5.....6.....7....8
..9.....10....11....12....13...14...15
16.....17....18....19....20....21...22
23.....24....25....26....27....28...29
30.....31

The column alignment of the above is off a bit(wrong font here), but you can get the idea.

Poked around a lot on the web, and everything is either pop up windows, or off on some tangent that I don't want. I use line mode a lot(carry over from the old DOS days) and would like to find something to replace the above in Win7. 32/64 bit, since Win7 doesn't like 16-bit anymore.

Any help greatly appreciated...

Google Docs, including Calendar, might fit your needs. It's OS and 16 32 64 bit agnostic being on the cloud.

Thanks for the idea; however, I'm looking for something to locate on my pc vs. in the 'cloud'...

Well, what'dya know...what I want isn't out there anywhere I could find; however, I -did- find source code for an even slicker version of what I want. Then, a freebie C compiler downloaded worked just fine, so I have a 32bit version, slicker than before, and am all set for Win7 and presumably, any future versions of Windows.

We're not talking rocket science here, but it -is- nice to get back one of those little DOS/CMD mode utilities that make things a bit handier...
