Subject: 24 Jie-Qi software for Macintosh

I wrote a INIT for Macintosh which display the Chinese 24 Jie-Qi when your
Mac startup.  The program runs on any system (both English or Chinese).
It is now in ahkcus.org (192.55.187.25) as file: src/mac/Ch24JieQiInit.hqx
It can be obtained by anonymous ftp.

Here is a little brief about it:

                Chinese 24 JieQi INIT

The Chinese lunar calendar has more information in it than the Western
solar calendar, 24 Jie-Qi is one example.   This INIT will display the
name of today's Jie-Qi in Chinese character when your Mac startup.
You don't need to run the Chinese OS to use it.  It work on any System.
(Though you need to understand Chinese...)

To use it, drop it into your System Folder, and restart the Mac.

(Note:  the date of the Jie-Qi is almost fixed in solar calendar with
the deviation of one of two days.  This program does not do any
elaborate calculation to get the exact date, so the turning point of
Jie-Qi may be one or two days off.)

Enjoy,
