        ABOUT THE PROGRAM  -  Very easy to use but sophisticated
        =================     ----------------------------------
        TIMEFLYS is a program which tracks and reminds you of 
        US holidays as well as other annual events such as Daylight
        Savings Time, Fathers/Mothers Day, and the start of seasons.
        In addition, you can enter your own annual events, such as
        birthdays or anniversaries, or any one-time special occasion
        or appointment that you can't afford to miss.

        The reminders appear on your screen 11, 4, and 1 day(s) 
        before a holiday or event, as well as on the day itself.
        Easy to use menus and prompts guide you through adding,
        changing, and deleting events.  There is also a menu 
        selection for printing a list of entered events.

        The power of TIMEFLYS lies in the fact that it automatically
        calculates the dates for "fixed day" holidays (i.e. those that
        fall on the same day every year) as well as Easter (which is
        based on the moon's cycle).  It will also supply the number of
        the event if the user enters the first year of the event.  
        For example, if the year is entered with a birthdate, the 
        person's upcoming age will be displayed with the reminder.  
        This feature is also useful for anniversaries.  Any entered
        month/day combination values are also checked for validity.

        TIMEFLYS is NOT a TSR program so there are no memory issues to
        be concerned about, but your system date must be set correctly.


        USING THE PROGRAM  -  "Set it and forget it" software
        =================     -------------------------------
        Simply entering  TIMEFLYS  at the DOS prompt will produce a screen
        which gives a brief description of the program and the command-line
        options, which are as follows:

        TIMEFLYS /C     This will cause  TIMEFLYS  to Check for upcoming
                        events.  This essentially "runs" the program the
                        way it will normally be used.

               * Hint *  Add the line  TIMEFLYS /C  to your AUTOEXEC.BAT
                         file to check for upcoming holidays and events
                         automatically when you turn on your computer.

        TIMEFLYS /E     This will bring up the  TIMEFLYS  Events menu.  From
                        this menu you can select to enter, edit, delete, or
                        print a list of entered events.

                            CANADIAN SUPPLEMENT
                            ===================


        TIMEFLYS-Canada still contains all the U.S. holidays and
        observances, but also includes the following Canadian holidays
        and observances:

                      * Good Friday
                      * Easter Monday
                      * Victoria Day
                        St. Jean Baptiste Day
                      * Canada Day
                        Canadian Thanksgiving Day
                        Remembrance Day
                        Boxing Day

                ( * - Not included in the Shareware release )

            Boxing Day is automatically set to 12/26 unless Christmas
            of that year falls on a Sunday.  In that case, Boxing Day 
            is set to 12/27.





        CUSTOMIZATION AVAILABLE:

        Custom versions of TIMEFLYS can be contracted for a business or
        government agency.  With such custom versions, only those holidays,
        observances, and annual "fixed day" events observed by the
        organization will be programmed into the software.  Such custom 
        versions are available for a small programming fee.  However, this 
        cost may be more than offset by a reduced "per user" cost, with the 
        amount of the discount dependant upon the number of copies needed.  
        Write to Keith Parkansky at the address given on the upgrade order 
        form on the previous page for a quote.  Please specify which 
        observances or events would need to be added/deleted, and how many 
        copies would be needed.
