WNUMOTD
      The Number Of The Day Generation Program (Windows)

Copyright Gopsi 2002


Purpose of this program

This software generates the Number Of The Day. It is released as an executable,
designed to run on Win32 systems (tested on Windows 98 and 2000).

In addition the source is available, and it is distributed under the terms of
the Perfectly Sane Public License (PSPL). This should be included as the file
pspl.txt accompanying this software. It is provided as a Borland C++ Builder 4
project.

This software is a port of the NUMOTD software for GNU/Linux. The C source code
for the basic system (number of the day algorithm, timing methods etc.) is used
as is, but the interface (gtk, and command line) is replaced by a Windows gui.


How to use this program

The contents of the download wnumotd.zip should be extracted using any zip
software (pkzip, winzip etc.). Just double click the application wnumotd.exe
to run it directly. No installation is required.

No modifications are made to your registry or other system settings.
The application creates one file, pfnumotd at run-time, which is placed in the
same directory as the executable. The application will execute without this
file; however for intended behaviour, this file should not be removed.

No uninstall is required. When you no longer want the program, just delete
the files wnumotd.exe and pfnumotd.


How to use the Borland C++ Builder 4 project source

Extract the contents of wnumotdsrc.zip to a directory. Start C++ Builder, and
open the project file wnumotd.bpr.
You can now view the source code, project form etc., and compile / build etc.
as normal.

Remember that the basic C source files are used in NUMOTD distributions for
other operating systems too - so changes to them should use only standard
ANSI C functionality. The interface files (cpp) are only used on Windows.
