World Calendar 1.2

World Calendar is a clever program that can create calendars in 15 different calendar systems from around the world. In addition to conversions, it displays major holidays plus sun and moon rise/set, moon phases, and equinoxes. Version 1.2 features more holidays, including most European civil holidays.
After setting the Preference panel to your location and time, you select your calendar of choice from the menu bar pull-down. Calculations are then displayed instantly for any date. (With the Gregorian calendar, did you know that the first full moon in January 2414 occurs on the sixth)?
Other than the variables of location, date, and calendar type, there is nothing for the user to input. In other words, it’s not a calendar for keeping track of your schedule, birthdays, etc.
Besides a handy application for the curious and the trivia-driven, World Calendar should be in geography and history classrooms and on the laptops of travelers and travel planners.
Basic system requirements are 7.1 or later (also available for Win 95 and NT). You’ll need about 700 KB of hard disk space. Drop an alias in your Apple Menu Items folder for easy access.
